The last great war

I was prepared to face the years with you, I was in planning mode and I had promises that I wanted to keep. For you I had noticed the change of the traffic light, I had learned the rules of war and my skin had become of ivory.  I would have burned my home to be with you and to this day it confuses me, How come it wasn't enough? 

You were looking for love to be easy and light, a passing wind that came to visit and left in silence. That would be the only explanation as to why you jumped overboard when my back was firm to face the beast in order to have you in my arms until my dying breath. Maybe my love was more indestructible than your excuses, I don't know, what I do know is that I was prepared to be the last great war to have your heart in my ribs.
