The Writer vs. The Warrior

She refuses to be here, yet she doesn’t want to leave Her heart has sewn itself onto her sleeve As she fights to keep her emotions inside, She is losing a battle through tears that reflect hurt, anger, jealousy, frustration, and pride. His past interferes with what the present has placed And his future is a game of chance, as though his life is at stake Honorary uniforms and steel toe boots He is prepared to travel a road with an unknown view. Black ink smears but she continues to write The words that she share are stories of her life Honorary mentions and medals of gold She continuously talks, yet the truth remains untold. She genuinely cares, her personality is rare His vision is blurred; it seems to be a glare He has the heart of a lion She has fear in her eyes Two separate people, but somehow their hearts have begun to intertwine.
