First-Blood

We fight to first blood
But he has no weakness,
It will surely be me who loses.
One way, or another,
It will surely be me who bleeds or bruises.
There can be no lenience
Between me and my lover.

Thank you Nigel for your poetic response ?

It was a complex situation and not all of which is covered by the poetry, it didn't seem wrong to try and solve the problem within the loving relationship, rather than not solve it or not have a relationship. But eventually the trauma of it got too much for me, I thought we had been sharing that trauma together but there came a point when I learnt that it really was only me hurting. That's when he lost my love.

Heartache will heal
it is he
that has lost
your everlasting love.
