i am an educator
i teach people various things in life
yet here i am, unable to do what i teach the rest
all i need to do is smile at him
they say when you first start to like someone
it is when you know them the least
except this is a battlefield
a war of hearts
faced by thousands of troops in the brain
i'm told that a warrior with a weapon always owns a place.

i wish to leave now
so i can forget these emotions conflicting in my body
these feelings i had but long forgotten have now returned
because of you
but if i leave, when will i meet with you again?
with silence?
tears?
the past can never be erased.

i am told to only protect my body, and not the feelings held within
the demons of my mind cast them in chains
buried inside to depths of my hollow heart
but these feelings you've given me
they tell me one thing
and only this one thing
if the world is against you, then it is my enemy
because i love you
