Conflict Between Us

You and I,
We've both made mistakes
In times of lust
We didn't think of the stakes

I've broken your heart
But you've chained my soul
The conflict between us
Has taken its toll

I hear the words you speak
Full of anger and hate
You continue to hurt my feelings
At an unspeakable rate

But I will fight back
Weak, I am not...
There has never been a time
When I have not fought

You raise your hand
As I raise my voice
Regardless of consequences
You make the choice...

I will suffer a black eye
And a bloody nose
Staying with you,
On the path that I chose

I search for the love
That reigned so long ago
But you've lost yourself
Where did you go?
