Bleeding for Peace

Swords drawn
Teeth clenched

Ready to battle

This is
the dance we know

We draw near

I see
in your eyes

The pain and fear

Past experience
Protection

My heart softens

I know the way

The impossible
Choice

I lay it down

Scared of what
Will happen

Hoping for the same

You swing
I bleed

I pray for you

That you
May know peace
