All is fair in love and war.
The endless struggle.
One battle defeat conceded.
Their truimph momentary.
My honour in defeat touched her.
Softened her for an instant.
And she let me fall.
No ache when I wake.
Contentment, peace and all consuming happiness.
Surely it cannot last.
One act will suffice to betray me.
So many ways in which she in perfection.
So many times better than me.
Only years older, but decades wiser.
My educator for this ear.
How long will she rest with me?
Before she seeks better.
If she lies with me, the enemy.
Is there anywhere she won't lie.
