Hope constantly decreases
Vengeance internally increases
Ability to mend slowly ceases
Each rejection harbours hate
They say love is great
But I question this as of late
Perhaps the life of others is not my fate
Each love wound stitched to scar spite
My heart's fiery love dims its light
As Venus mocks me from her height
Mars anoints me as his dark knight
A dullness within me I sense
Fortify my fortress walls against Love's offense
For Cupid's love arrows are merciless
As he barrages torture on my fragile heart's defense
I call upon Mars to bestow me fortitude
Transform this fragile red to black crude
The god of war claims my heart tattooed
As I begin this road of ultimate solitude
They say: "All is fair in love and war"
I say: "All is fair in war. All is unfair in love"
