Digging deep, entrenched,
barricaded against love’s bayonet,
securing the heart,
impregnable, shielded,

|
|

but,
love breaches the lines.

|
|

The defences crumble,
walls of steel melt away,
shields are lowered,
minefields disappear,

|
|

as,
love overwhelms the night.

|
|

Alone now, desolate, exposed,
my embattled heart lies injured,
the fatal blow being dealt by you…

…in the trenches, in love.
