The Art Of War Poem by Elizabeth Jordan Heinbuch

You can try
to Fortify
you Fortress
and yes,
you can build up your borders-
cause some chaos and disorder
But no, it won't matter.
And you can try
to hide behind
your defenses
But dear-
You are just as defenseless.
I... I've got you surrounded;
My soldiers on all sides
and dear,
I decide when and where to strike-
when the time is just right...
Oh, I'll fein a faint
flaunt false flaws and fears
and i will pretend to be
Just as vulnerable as you dear.
Just so i can bring you near.
Then i will surely bring you... to tears...
and we can wage our war
on the battlefield
of my broken heart
and i'll make you feel
as if you've taken atleast some part
of me
but really
it's only
familiar territory.
and while we were engaged
our platoon enraged
in the heat of battle estranges
in the utter midst of it-
while i had you distracted
i tore your country... apart...
like what this war
shall do to your own heart.
It is my own art of war-
what i feel-
you'll feel more.
