Love is a Battlefield

I will meet you at the front line,

where our enemies lie,

swords drawn, shields held high,

ready to fight for this life.

With you by my side,

we can take it all in stride

*

I will take each strike and bleed

battle with a silent plea,

lose parts of me,

just to make sure you're free.

A war I'd win if only

you are here fighting with me.

*

I will fight until my last breath,

swing until there's nothing left,

each strike will be deft,

even if it leads to my death,

proof my love isn't bereft

and once we've won, we can rest.

*

I will meet you in the boneyard,

where we fought hard,

with our bones charred

and our souls marred

yes, we might be scarred

but at least we still have our hearts.

*

I will meet you in the next life,

where we will reunite,

faced with another strife,

challenged by life's endless ride.

A war I will gladly fight,

as you are worth every price.
