The War for Peace ~ Merrit Malloy

© Merrit Malloy

He'll tell you
That we loved eachother deeply
But that I fought too much
...and that's true...I did
I didn't make it easy
I wouldn't let him change
That part of me
That he loved...and feared
I wouldn't let him deny
That part of him
That I saw...and wanted

I did fight, that's true
But I didn't fight with him ...I fought for him
And maybe I fought so hard
...and so much
That it changed...
His feelings about me
But better that
Than to change...
My feelings about myself
