Foolish

All guards down
walls falling
air filled with smoke
I wave the flag

Negotiations failed
a silent war raged
I didn't even know
I had an army

Pushed away from
the face of love
gun drawn
looking like happy

I once thought
I knew something about this
I thought I knew something
that meant that kindness
could be

I have since learned
there is no other time
like the time spent
thinking you have been chosen

This was not an invasion
this was done
just to prove it could be done
the casualties are counted
one foolish woman
with an open heart

To the victor
the spoils
