I can't say that I don't understand, Dear Love.
In truth, we posed as a love,
Never meant to be.
Somehow though,
It hadn't stopped us, had it?
It could not be rendered void,
or cut out from us.
It could not be capitulated or manipulated
Into surrender.
Put on a back burner, however...
It would be neglected.
For the love that was never supposed to be,
Had found walls erected and wars waged.
It found broken parts on muddied battle fields,
and hearts sunken for years
minds fragmented
to make sense of what went insane.
It would be a stamp of something aged; worn.
Of something unoiled, unannointed.
We would go on, ghosts now...
Half of our soul elsewhere.
Fragmented.
All because we were not supposed to Love,
You and I.
They had never accounted for us.
What was sacred there, we would lose...
Because a war had to waged,
Instead of Love Surrendered to.
