[Before you read I'd just like youn to know that I am ware this is not on the same level as my other works. I am currently recovering from a life threatening condition and my brain is coming back way too slowly. PnP members please read my first comment. And we now return to our feature presentation.]



You know love may be a battlefield,
But hope is all out war.
There’s nothing you can say to me
That hasn’t been said before.

They said it’ll be all right
When you wake up on the morning
I couldn’t sleep last night
‘cause I couldn’t trust their warning
You say it’ll be all right
Just close your eyes and dream.
I know I love you
But you’re not what you seem
You know there’s danger in the moonlight
There’s something in your eyes
And if I stay to daylight
What will be my prize
With my every heartbeat
I reach into the skies
With every word
I listen to your lies.

And as you go to sleep
I will close my eyes
But when you wake
You’re in for a surprise

‘Cause love is a battlefield
But hope is all out war
There is nothing you can say to me
That hasn’t been said before

I run through the fields
With every step I feel
How I loved you so
When I didn’t know
I’d die
Without you beside me
I’d cry
If ever you tried me
Ooh this pain deep within my soul
What it’s like to learn
You’re never in control
Oh please forgive me
You know I love you so
But you will never hear
What I now know

Oh how it pains me
here in my heart
I know how you promised
We would never part
I remember
when we two first met
It’s still a day
I never will forget
I remember just how
I first did greet you.
It really was a pleasure
to meet you
But now that time has past
I wonder if anything can last
Oh how everything was stolen away
Now I’ve only got one thing left to say
Goodbye Remember me fondly
Like I’ll remember you
Now I close myself
to all that people do.
So if you see me
walking down the street
You’re just another person
I never want to meet
It’s just another battle I will never win
Now I never want to dream again
Yet I still hope
that you love me so
Just one last hope
I can’t seem to let go
You Knoooooow

Love is a battlefield field
But hope is all out war
There’s nothing you can say to me
That hasn’t been said before

I loved this. It really spoke to me. The emotion behind it was presented very well.
I really appreciated the line that said:
"You say it’ll be all right
Just close your eyes and dream.
I know I love you
But you’re not what you seem"
Brilliant!
I've been and still am, deeply in love with someone who was nothing like what I thought...And it's so hard to walk away from that. You make it so real in your head that you can't convince yourself that it wasn't.
But thank you for this, this was very well done.

I would like to read your poetry when you get well. This one sounds very good to my ears.
The Chinese say 'Whether one lives to eighty or ten' each is thankful for his/her life. My brother is dying of cancer and I have Parkinson's disease. Perhaps I know a bit of how you feel. Anyway, It's not how many moments you have spent, it's how you spend them that counts.
