I loved you then I love you now
I’ll love you longer still.
How longI cannot tell for sure
It’s a battle of my will
Against the forces of my heart.
But in war there are no winners
Only losers by the score.
And so I have to ask myself,
What am I fighting for?
The answer could be self respect:
“We’ve retaken ego hill”.
To the victor belongs the spoils of war,
That is, if the winner is my will.

Tit for Tat
A childish game of you do this
and I’ll do that
Yet on we race against the clock
With just seconds left to play
Unaware of how we’ve sqandered yet another perfect day
And the outcome’s still the same,
It’s another scoreless game.
