The Battle Royale

Font Size

My twin devils of lust and love,

Play chess with me 

As if I am their pawn,

Seeking advantage over each other. 

Each step in the battle, 

I face my foe,

As if I look in a mirror.

 

Always moving forwards, 

No retreating, 

Hell defeating,

Shoulder to shoulder I stand,

Simply blocked by the heat of battle.

 

How do I fight myself? 

How can I hope to win,

When they move me,

with their desires? 

I fight for my queen, 

And yet in her game 

Of cut and thrust, 

I am but cannon fodder. 

 

Do I die in love,  Or win in lust?

Or die to lust, and win with love?
