Losing a battle to win the war

By Stephanie Bartos

"I’m not quite sure what it was about you

Perhaps it was your smile

Pouring warmth into my soul

Like tea in a cup

Or maybe it was your mind

And its vast knowledge of nothing

Brilliantly idiotic

But I was mesmerized by your existence

Pulled to orbit around your planet

Awakened by your galaxies

I would’ve given you everything

Anything you could’ve ever wanted

And so I did

I gave you her
