battlescars

come find me when you’re weary
when hope seems all but lost
there’s talk of mass mutiny
we’ll meet under the clock

together we devise a plan
that’s sure to light the flame
a spark ignited as we make our stand
those women who remain

we fought the battle
won the war
but scales of justice
don’t balance anymore

no armor worn is strong enough
we’ve put them to the test
what’s underneath lay scars of love
we thought were for the best

we missed a crucial question
one life-defining phrase
does a partner mean detention…
the rest of all our days?
