“Love and War”

I want to find love

And only then will the healing rain

Wash away the hate.

But there is no love

Because in war

There is no such thing as love.

If there was love

My voice, in great goodbyes,

Would bid farewell to hate.

My heart says love

But my mind tells a different story of this war;

For my heart has drowned in my tears.

I am at war

And there is no such thing as love

Only hate-

Hate that has burnt me,

Scarred me for life,

And left me with my broken soul.

Now that I look back

I wonder if war was worth the love

Were you really an enemy?

Wasn’t there love before this war?

Look beyond my eyes, tell me what you see.

There are only invisible tears now.

You are gone.

I am gone with you.

Love no longer exists between us

For this war I have created

Has created hate,

Forever banishing the word ‘love.’
