Mary Jayne Budd Poet Free verse

Fighting

We fight for many reasons...
We fight for freedom, peace
and love. 
We fight for love and 
against love. 
Love is a non-stop 
war sometimes between 
two people sometimes 
between more...
When one war is done
you come out with battle 
wounds. But the wounds
dont matter when you come
back to the one you fought 
for. When you come back 
and they have open arms 
for you no matter what happened. 
They have the same battle wounds
as you. When this battle is over 
the next one comes along soon
after. Sometimes you think 
you finished the battle and there 
will be no more fighting, but then 
they start up again. You think you 
finished it when you tell yourself
that your never going to fight for 
this person ever again even though
deep down you are fighting to them 
off your mind....
The war is never over...

Dawn Gordon April 5, 2011 at 10:09 PM I have learned that you should not keep fighting for the crap they heep on you daily...believe me I have been crapped on..repeatedly..then he whines like he does not see THIS IS HIS FAULT ENTIRELY, not mine, HIS..keeping monsters lurking, amongst many other factors..dont fight for something to long that does not respect you even as a human living being to keep you from being abused
