WAR Poem: Through Storms of the Heart, by James Agape

In each day’s sun or storm
Lived two hearts, to each other sworn
In all joys and sorrows, they knew
A bond unbreakable and true

But as time passed, life took its toll
Challenges arrived, out of control
A storm brewed, from within one heart
Tears, anxiety, and sadness, torn apart

Mental health issues, unseen and strong
Distorting the thought process, all along
Innocent love turns into a battleground
For reasons unknown to the other, profound

The once-clear skies, now a misty path
Shrouded in darkness, a lover’s wrath
Fears, paranoia, and insecurities dominate
Love, dwindling in a sea of hate
