War: 6-1-18
You....you.....
You have destroyed me.
Unlocked a secret well,
sacred pool in my soul
and used love to fuel
your emotional campaign.
how you wreak havoc on the
battleground that is my heart.
I didn't know I fell for a
general until you waged a
war that I couldn't stop.
I am hopeless and in
an irreversible state of
dependence on your kisses
addicted to the sight of your
face. You ransack my mind
with your games and lay
siege to my nerves with your
fingertips splayed across
my skin; I know you'll
win. My defenses weaken
with each exchanged breath
and I find myself resisting
less and less and less.
But I've gotta be honest,
I didn't try so hard. Between
the careful strikes of compliments
and calculated attacks of
surprise nights-out, I felt myself
falling, falling right into
your traps. I hate that you have
changed me so drastically,
destroyed me so completely.
I am yours.
