Love Poem: Love and War

Love and War

love shatters the brain-
war heals the forgotten enemy- 
then it starts all over again
young hearts in a new embrace-
made to destroy the original ally-
the war is never over....
so does anybody really win?
and if one were to win is it a total triumph or is it a proportionate debate?
the questions are not really questions at all 
there is no such thing
and if love is a battlefield are you going to stay or are you pushing me away?
and if it's just going to be some Cheap Trick, do I want you to want me? 
or has independence devolved?
the questions are not really questions at all
maybe Pat Benatar is right and maybe I'd love you to love me.
