All is Fair

Love

Is a treacherous thing

It is not something to be messed with

Or taken lightly

It hurts

When it ends

War

Is a treacherous thing

It’s not something to be messed with

Or taken lightly

It hurts

While it’s happening

They both cause pain

They both end

With the promise

Of a new beginning

Love and war

Are sometimes the same

War can be caused by love

Love can feel like war

Love can be beauty

War can be pain

Love can be a reason for living

War can be a reason for death

Love can hurt

War can be getting a second chance

Love can be fighting for purpose

War can be standing up for your beliefs

But which is worse?

Which causes the most pain?

Losing loved ones to death

Or to life

Both consist of death

It is just a matter

Of if the death

Is of the body

Or the heart

Both consist of passion

It is just a matter

Of if the passion

Is of love for another being

Or of love for getting your way

Both destroy lives

Neither show mercy

All is fair in love and war

All is fair

Do what you must

Do what you want

All is fair

All is right

No one can stop them

No one can control them

We all try

To keep love and war

From controlling our lives

But it’s impossible

All is fair in love and war

They can’t be stopped

They can’t be controlled

Spend your life

Trying to stay away

And never realizing

That living

Is love

And living

Is war

They are inescapable

Stop trying

To run away

From life

All is fair in love and war

And nothing anyone will ever do

Will change that fact
