X X Poet Blank verse

Fighting

Constant struggles pulling us apart.
Fighting so hard to hold on, to never give up and let go.
Never wanting to admit defeat.
Fighting to find words to convey emotions
so deeply locked up yet pouring from my eyes,
Fighting to show respect for all one does,
for all one gives, for all one exhales.
Fighting for a breath to stop the flow.
The flow of pain and hurt that blocks all else.
Begging for understanding before I let you go.
Begging for forgiveness.
Fighting for tomorrow with you.
Grasping onto love still there, so strong
a being onto itself that no fight can break.
A scent, a touch, a laugh, a memory...feeling spent.
Struggles keeping us apart, tearing at us.
Moving us, molding us, grooving with us.
Overcoming all else.
Focus on love.
Focus on the future and patience and wanting to nurture what's there.
Fighting for us.
Fighting for love.
Fighting for you.
