Leading with her in front
Shielding nothing from my back
Thinking I was fighting for a good cause
While I was taking a shot from my own plan of attack
My enemies a split second ahead
They knew all my weakness and vulnerabilities
Spread by love of my heart
Whom I dedicated my soul to protect
So she can better defend me and
The future I had planned for us

(Perhaps loving is as not difficult as we make it to be)
Perhaps we trust too much people who don’t want to be trusted or
Perhaps we are too honest to people who don’t want our honesty or
Perhaps we are too involved to people with greater intention with someone else
But what can we do
We give love to people we think deserve it
No communicated expectations and misinterpreted intentions
A reason why we six feet under
It cut deep when you realise all your efforts means nothing to ones you love
It emotionally exhausting when they are the only thing that make you feel close to life
When they are only source of happiness
Sometimes loneliness is the only rest we get
And the emptiness actually lets us forget
Sometimes forgiveness is easiest in secret
