The Battle of Love

The Battle of Love

I am a battlefield
torn, abused, broken...
You are the weapons
destroying everything

Scatter your bullets
Leave me in ruins
I wear lost memories
of battles never won

I am painted crimson red
like a sea of blood
Many have died here
but I am the only victim

Needless to say I survived
The hate and bloodshed
Once a peaceful ground
demolished from love's battle

    At first I was thinking oh, Pat Benatar is amazin, I wanna read this poem. I thought it would be kind of similar but it is so dark and just oh so wonderful. Again I love how you take such common ideas or songs and twist them in your poetic sense. Absolutely amazing.
    Loved this:
    Many have died here
    but I am the only victim

    Hey,
    I like the overall metaphor you have going on hear. Youve described it all as a battlefield, bringing the subject og war and stuff in. Yet the poem is all about love. Battle of love. It brings this entire new yet intresting concept into place, it really captures the readers attention and makes them want to read more. Anyways your poem makes the reader curious of what happened to spark of this battle. I like how youve described yourself as well as the "Opponant". The overall flow was good. To improve i think you should use punctuation. Other then that, an excellent read. Keep writing! xx
