Nay Love

Oh cupid! Lower your 
bow and waste not your 
arrows on me 
 i'm a knight of peace, 
my shield alert, and my 
armour is faultless 
 i wish not to fight in 
this battle of love 
 for my drive still yet 
remain lost in my 
fantasies 
 i seek not the passion 
of a damsel dat dies 
with time like a rose 
 i am no coward, bt hw 
can i win,when on this 
grounds, my father 
lost ? 
where do i get the 
courage , to fight as 
brave as a lion nd as 
calm as a dove ? 
 why shud i fight when 
waterloo awaits me, 
after my victory ?
 that battle ground i 
shall nt visit, until d 
sun is blue
 for i wish not to 
become a victim of 
tears nd deceit

"Why should I fight when Waterloo awaits me?" This line made me sad. It seems your character has given in without even trying. Assumed defeat can be the strongest defeat of all. Thanks for sharing!
