'this Poem'

She uttered words that day
that maybe should not have been heard
They created hope in a space there were not suppose to be
But then again they encouraged her to
share what she felt until she didn't feel it anymore
Her words were clear if this was ever anything it would have been love 
But it couldn't have been because
This is a love poem 
Written with shrapnel that were flung all over when the war started 
A war you couldn't win even if you tried 
Because it was already raging inside long before you arrived

Lyrically cryptic, Wilma, too curious for my own good!
