You're begging me to go
Then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way
Or am I the best thing you've had
Believe me
Believe me
I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love
And I'm chained to your side
Pat Benatar, Love is a Battlefield

These long years later it is worse
for I remember what it was
as well as what it might have been.
Rod McKuen, Listen to the Warm

You don't love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.
William Faulkner

Love Is a Battlefield, Maysa

Thanks for this very fine render and the quotes, John. I had expected that you would us provide with a link to the music video of Pat Benatar's 'Love is a Battlefield' as well, but you've chosen the version of Maysa. Of course it's your, and to me well respected, choice.
Excellent work!

You make a good point Mr C. In fact, I had Pat Benatar's YouTube up but in the end, I felt, musically, Maysa's calm, smooth, moody jazz version was what I was looking for to blend in with the picture and quotes. Though the video was political, I chose it for the music only as part of my picture. Both versions, the original from Benatar and the cover from Maysa are excellent in their own rights.

Yes, whether you agree with the images in the song or your alone is subjective. Art isn't what the individual agrees with, but what the truth or art is. I know some you are saying Huh??

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
