Choosing My Battle

We all choose our battles you said, 
In all of them you lose or gain with dread
When there is nothing to fight for, 
I stopped. There is nothing left in my core.

I dived out of an airplane 
Like in a dream AND a nightmare. 
With no parachute or a safety net 
All I could feel was that cold sweat.

With my plain hold that this chaos is true,
I gave up on my religion for you.
I lost myself, I lost "my dew" 
I fought with my whole, should I rue?
Just like you,
With dread, I choose to lose in this battle too.
