War

Neither of us knew how to love,

and so, went to war instead.

I thought love was easy, until it wasn’t.

I thought I could give endlessly,

until I couldn’t.

I thought we could save each other,

until we both escaped in our own ways.

I thought I was fine,

until I was triggered.

I thought I could be the rock for us,

until I crumbled.

I thought I knew how to love,

until we went to war.
