My First Battle Wound

I looked into the sun

As a burst of bright light came and made me fall

I looked at the cause

A deep blue ocean that I had fallen into

A soft, strong independent pillow and support

At peace I was on this island

I looked into the fiery red hair he has

With the smooth touch of his hand

I adored the way I was loved

Suddenly

I looked straight into his eyes

And a look of hatred was given

I asked him to open up the feelings

Although all he did was hide

I finally asked him

To speak and if he loved me

And I got a response I did not want to hear

I wanted him to still love me

But that was not the case anymore

I tried to talk to him

To retrieve my love back

And understand why I wasn’t his favorite

And then I realized

I wasn’t number one anymore

Instead I was at the bottom

With not a care in the world

He walked out

Like a roller coaster taking off

The fighting and pitiful fighting

Trying to earn my reward back

To get what I once had back

But it wasn’t as it seemed

I was no longer his star in his night

I was no longer the spark of the his Fourth of July

I was no longer his one and only

I had failed my job

I stopped fighting

And then a huge stab came in my back

The pain and agony it had caused

I screeched in horror

As I saw who had defeated me

I looked up to see the one I thought was not my enemy

Although that was no longer the case

I saw the deep blue ocean eyes

His fiery red hair

And warmly said voice

Said all I needed to know

That I had lost this fight

There was no winning in this battle

No matter what I did

I just walked off

With my first battle wound
