The battlelines are drawn.
The opponents engaged.
Strong words were your weapons:
Insensitivity,
my heart was hid behind
My counter-offensive
struck deep within your heart,
and deep within my soul.

Trodding on the borders
between our love and hate.
Unbridled passion clashed,
This conflict was our fate.
A war of wills, not fists
The victor reigns supreme.
Unchallenged by the lost
combatant slain unseen.

No winner in this game,
a clash between our hearts.
Where winners fall of guilt
and losers are torn apart.
But in this conflict lies,
pursuit and a retreat.
For in these fallen hearts
lies our souls' defeat.
