Subtle Surrender

To this day, I don’t know how we got here

to this day, I still can’t even forge a word about it

It was a civil war for a cause,

What it was, I’m not sure if we even knew anymore

and even if we did, I saw your subtle surrenders.

Your eyes – white flag;

gunshot execution style.

Your kiss – white flag;

frags and grenades explode.

Your time – white flag;

tomahawk to my spine.

Your touch – white flag;

knife in my chest.

Your fight – white flag.

You surrendered

but I was the only casualty.
