The Battle of Love

by Isabella Bedard   Aug 30, 2006


Entwined, in love,
in beautiful bliss;
inside your heart,
within your kiss...
I can hear it beating,
beating just for me;
I can hear you breathing,
so recklessly.

Will you still love me
when you kiss my soul?
Would you still love me
if you knew all I know?
Should I tell you the truth
or just keep it within?
Would you still love me
if you knew how I sinned?

Gripping my chest,
I'll tell you the truth;
the murder I commited,
and how I've lied to you.
Its not that I wanted it;
its just, it had to be.
If I wanted to love you,
you couldn't know me.

I know,
you just don't understand.
Neither do I
but I need someone's hand
to help me when I need it
and to love me as you do;
I don't deserve this
but God, I love you.

I just wish I could've told you the truth.
