war_poetry | Mohammed Khamis AlBalushi, 'The War'

The War

I will announce the war
A fierce war, merciless
War in which everything is permitted
Raised by the war behind him victory
War in which I will sacrifice myself
War on my heart
My heart who's become for the other
Lives in my chest, but
Love other
Protect him and feed him my blood, but
He loves someone else
And the other loves himself
Oh, my heart
You beat me and fell in love with someone else
But
The war will continue, either you return to me
Or you will not be for the others
