"Pain is weakness leaving the body"


              I went to battle,

            went with my heart in hand

            came back with a bullet instead,

            thought i won the fight

            wanted to see the light

           saw the night instead,

            i went to battle

           thought i won the fight

            but i lost the war instead

Interesting scheme. I'm a fan - I love short poems that leave a lasting effect. The repetition helps the scheme form.
