Bounded Between Peace and War

They both drew a breath before the flood Determined to make their way through They could feel a change in their blood And tried to forget what they knew The meaning of love has been sunken in sea Its all dark with the shipwrecks and the needs What miserable times for lovers to be And one has a heart that slows when it bleeds He gave her all that he had to give She took it and asked for more And he just needed more time to live Bounded between peace and war The future is the hardest thing to keep It wasn’t easy for him to grow up so fast Before he knew it he forgot how to weep And he put his own hauntings into the past These lovers here they had it tough They tried to keep their love afloat But one said they’ve had enough And the other didn’t have a vote Whether it’s love, the sun, or it’s you Time crumbles it all and turns it to wind And there’s nothing anyone can do But realize it’ll all be blown in the end August 28th, 2013
