Lover's Quarrel On Valentine's Day Poem by Christian Rivera

Wars are waged within our hearts
As outwardly we hide the scars
Deep inside we know the fight
Won't last throughout the night

The trumpets blare their battle cries
Thunder is heard as bullets fly
We fire like bloodthirsty dogs
Sooner or later all hope is lost

Yet love in its simplicity
Finds a calm in her I barely see
We inch our way toward one another
So hesitant to love each other

She waves the white flag torn apart
I surrender my old weary heart
We stop and take ourselves a breath
Unsettled by the words we said

Tonight the war has found its end
As outwardly the scars we mend
Somewhere deep within her eyes
I find a peace this Valentine's
