Entering the war zone
Never prepared for battle
Love is a battlefield
Just a youngster in your care
Lost on the front lines
Love is a battlefield
Facing the enemy I love unconditionally
Why do you hurt me so bad?
Ill prepared and searching for shelter and safety
Why do you hurt me so bad?
Heart broken, but still full of love
I felt chained to your side
Never able to have room and space
No room to breath
Suffocated with what you called love
Why do you hurt me so bad?
I am trapped by your love
Taught to believe and feel love in your way
So scary, painful, and threatening
Love is a battlefield
Bruised on the inside and out
What was I supposed to do?
I am chained to your side
Unable to inhale or exhale without permission
Hiding deep inside myself
Never sharing who I really am - because
Love is a battlefield
An adult wanting and needing someone/something
To replace the love you gave me as a child
Love is a battlefield
Objectifying myself to others
Still chained to your side
Unable to break free
