Your Love Was My Siege Weapon

A cycle of poems «Your Love Was My Siege Weapon»

Moonlit towers, shadows rise,
Hope a flame behind my eyes,
Battlements my heart had met -
Your love was my siege weapon yet.

Iron hearts and fires align,
Walls I built, you would confine.

Your love was my siege weapon,
Shattered stone and fear I’d run,
Every vow like loaded gun,
Stormed my soul until you’d won -
Your love was my siege weapon.

Rusted armor, courage failed,
Truth like arrows, sharp and hailed,
You broke through where pride prevailed,
Stormed the gates that never scaled.

Iron hearts and fires align,
Walls I built, you would confine.

Your love was my siege weapon,
Shattered stone and fear I’d run,
Every vow like loaded gun,
Stormed my soul until you’d won -
Your love was my siege weapon.

Banner high above debris,
Chains undone, you set me free,
Inside the breach, just you and me,
Victory found in defeat’s decree.

If I could build those walls anew,
Shield the pain I’ve carried through,
Would I still surrender, too -
Or fall again because of you?

Ashes drifting, towers low,
In your arms, my strongholds go,
Warfare ended in your glow -
Your love, the only siege I know.
