His Loss

Never mind the soldiers dying. This war cannot be fought that way. Dissatisfied, he won't stop trying. Attack before he'll watch her stray. The road he's built extends through time Each checkpoint holding the remains of battles lost against her crime. Leaves him glutted with disdain. Since she chose to trust herself, the threat was high that he could lose. Bleeding just to keep himself where she couldn't circumvent his views. He opposes her vicissitudes and disparages her worth. She takes the blows she's being given and pursues spiritual rebirth. She's searching for a way to end this as her arsenal starts to lose supply. He lets her hide while weak and remiss. Peace time's over, Red fills the sky. Years go by amid this strife. Both are wounded, both have cried. The war continues inside a mind that knows its right, enough to die. Slowly, death will creep upon him as she starts to walk away. The road he built, left desolate. This war has ended. She won't obey.
