In the Trenches, In Love

In the Trenches, In Love Digging deep, entrenched, barricaded against love's bayonet, securing the heart, impregnable, shielded, but, love breaches the lines. The defences crumble, walls of steel melt away, shields are lowered, minefields disappear, as, love overwhelms the night. Alone now, desolate, exposed, my embattled heart lies injured, the fatal blow being dealt by you, in the trenches, in love.
