Heaven

When we're not fighting 
in-between fights
we're loving each other 
most of those nights
but when we start throwing 
knocking things down.
It's best that you call first 
before you come around 
cause if caught in the middle 
of one of our wars.
with the banging 
slamming 
and closing of doors. 
You’re bound to get hurt
survivors are rare
though in-between fights.
It's like heaven here.
