A great portrayal of lost love in the backdrop of medieval battles. This is a significant write that says a lot about the history of mankind that is replete with wars for power. And in our endless fights, how often we fail to see the love that might have flourished, if we had battled our egos rather than battling each other. We come to an stalemate from which there's no retreat n then life might not give us a chance to make amends. A 10.

You grasped all the particulars that made this poem, especially the alternating modern and medieval settings. I really like your statement: IF WE HAD BATTLED OUR EGOS etc. That's the larger truth my poem conveyed to you, and now that you have articulated I can see it is truly the solution that might have saved these lost lovers.
