BattleFields
I laid my weapon down and now.. now well I really even breathe
In truth I dont know what really led me into that answer
One second it is whispers between friends
And the next it is bombs and gunshots
Usually the casualites are small
Not this time though
This time death has life by the throat and is slowly tightening its grip
There is blood everywhere but no one seems to notice a single thing
They tell me it is all in my head and I am left more angry than in the blue
Suddenly it is like everyday is a war
My room is the panic room
My mind is the control center and this betrayal has it so twisted I am left offering myself as a lamb
There... Go ahead steal my story
I am in love
I am love with a solider
But he doesnt know just how deep my love is and neither of us seem to know that we are warriors just yet
And to me love is such a silly thing
Love is dirty
Dirty like a battlefield
But as elognant as a game of war
Both sides trying to out fox the other
Which only adds to the steam
He is stronger than me
Anyone with eyes can see that
He holds the piece for my defeat
But while he plays with pure force I play with deciet
His force comes in ways that to others would seem petty
They come in waves of warm sun filled smiles
They come in screamed song lyrics in a parking lot
They come in a laugh that is so full of laugh that not even the dark could smother it
It comes in how his eyes can be as sneaky but playful as a cat's
But this mouse didnt fall for any cat
And that cat is smart enough to pick a mouse that keeps him on his toes
Other things may make him bleed but I will never be one
It is only a game
He is a solider
Strong
Safe
Secure
Pure
I on the other hand am a rebel
Insecure
Hostile
Weak
Dirty
But he loves it
As he salutes his CO's
I am defying mine
If both sides only want this war to stop
Than why fight at all?
Nevermind that is a solider's game
I am only playing by ear and pen
But this has taught me to love.... For he is my solider
But this is a forbidden love
So we wrap ourself's in thorns
Only the other knows what to avoid
But there are days love fails and we are left bloody and soar
He will never weep.. at least not in front of me
For this sick war has claimed many of his own
When I learned how many my cheeks were left covered in salty streams
Since when is being a solider a dream?
What world do we live in that this is seen as okay?
Since a hundred voices will read i will cut this scene but before I do
My solider know I am laying here, dying for you
For you are my solider and I am your rebel
