Love Is War Poem by Mathew Welch

This apartment like a critical post in enemy territory
We held it down for nearly two years
Fighting battle upon battle
Overcoming the trials set in front of us
Battered and scarred from each conflict
It seemed as though we could hold it forever
It was a surprise attack that brought those victories to an end
Like gunshots the sound echoes through the apartment
The burning feeling in the chest as though the bullet just pierced the flesh
Yet I still battle on because this is the critical point
I will continue to fight this war of love
As long as I still breathe and my heart still beats for you
