Craving Delusions

It breaks her heart
But his soul is decimated
She can’t do anything
And he does everything for her

She sees his signs of affection
And receives them with gratitude
She feels alive in those moments
How he dreams…

He forgets her smile
They reconcile
All is well and said
How she wishes…

They, in a battle of mind and heart,
Seem so calm and unmoved
He, who wants her
She, who wants him to forget

How can someone not want to love
That which remedies their pain?
How can one forget that which
They think is perfection?

He wishes he knew
He wishes she knew
That he can’t know
So it is pointless

And in the war of souls,
Their words wound and heal,
Their hands entice and push away,
Their hearts beat to different drums
There’s no winning or losing

Put up the white flag
He wishes, she wishes
Forget that blood was shed
And go home instead

Oh, it’s true what they say
War ruins the day
It tears people away
And nations don’t see…

Forget?
Wars are never lost in mind
Give up?
Both sides never look behind

In the very beginning of the poem, we see irony and how "he does everything for her" but "she can't do anything at all." It just talks about how both of them have contrasting wishes for what they want at the end of this thing they're going through. He wants... well you tell me what he wants. And, besides that, I was going for a third-person kind of poem this time. I usually say "you" or "she," but this time I talked as if I was a spectator watching the scene of these two people. In reality, I am the guy in the poem and the girl is she who I liked recently. I realized she did not want me, as I had realized before, but it still never stopped hurting. I don't know when, but I made this poem.
