Love Poem: Battle Or War

Battle Or War

Things have changed 
Since we met
But there are things 
That we should forget.

There is a battle 
Or maybe a war
That’s going on between us  
Like never before.

You say you love me
I say I hate you 
But the truth is
I love you too.

We always argue
Over dumb things
And say things that 
We both don't mean.

I know it's hard for you
But just understand
That all I ever wanted
Was a loving, caring dad.

Maybe it's me 
Or maybe it's you  
'Cause I know I have a temper
But I know you do too.

We need to communicate
Just like you said
But all you do is 
Lay on your bed.

I’m tired of all this stress 
I know there's more to come
One day they will forgive me
For all the things I have done.

I’m tired of running 
From all this pain
I just need a hug 
Or to be loved again.

Dad, I’m sorry 
For all the things I do
I hope you forgive me
'Cause I forgive you.
