I fall victim

I concede defeat to you again from
this battle you waged against my heart.
Relentless in your continued taunting,
I fought a wasted defense from you.
Failed by the armor I depended upon
to shield me from your arrows, it
allowed you to pierce my spirit
and inflict a mortal wound in me.
Once more the battlefield bears
the brands of this impassioned love
and I fall victim to its hands.
Without fanfare or marching parades
the battle ends here within your arms and
I fall prisoner to you,
and to love I will
surrender.
