The Conquest, the Battle, the Fall

(Title tentative) The gate was lowered, the path laid before her But the journey would not be a simple task Traps had been laid, tests waited at every turn Each step would be perioulous, so little to ask The heart was at stake and the price would be high And all it would take is a little sacrifice It was thrilling to watch as she passed each hurdle She knew what she wanted was well worth the price Victory! Hurrah! The sacred heart had been won Time to revel in the love being rained from above Each day passed in bliss, each moment divine Songs would be written of this enduring love The honeymoon period was brief, I'm afraid And darkness hovered about the happy pair Jealousy was playing it's ugly little game Suspicion floated full and thick in the air Possessive souls, these two lovers were Passions would flare and anger would boil Emotions rising and threatening to spill The differences mixing like water and oil Years would pass as the battle raged Neither one yeilding or ending the fight It still goes on, to this very day Both battling for what they believe is right The lovers have tried to go seperate ways It never succeeds except to cause pain Each one has realized, there is no way out Too much would be lost, with nothing to gain
