Never Ending Battle

 

Ultimate loss and ultimate pain,

Ultimate pleasure and ultimate gain.

The fears of a lifetime in one little thought

The loss of a love and the battles you’ve fought.

 

He stands there looking out,

She stands there looking in.

They face each other through the ages,

Neither losing, neither wins.

 

She wants what she can’t have,

He knows he can’t go back.

To do so would ruin so many lives,

Painting all their colours black.

 

Ultimate loss and ultimate pain,

There is no pleasure, and even less gain.

The fears of a lifetime in one little thought,

The loss of a love and the battles you’ve fought.

Marvellous!!

 

I enjoyed the ying and yang feel I had gotten from the first and last stanzas with the sprinkle of the author's personal turmoil or conflict in the middle stanzas. A unique style, one which I think you should be proud of.

i really like this.

 

The fears of a lifetime in one little thought

excellently encapsulated!

the balance in conflict is very well handled.

the only thing which catches me on each read through -

 

Neither losing, neither wins.

i keep reading this as "neither loses, neither wins."

a minor detraction in a neatly done piece!
