A teenage war

How goes the war tonight?
Couples locked in dancing fight,
All’s clear on the western line,
Our precious moments lost in time.

A steady beat above the screams,
Some stand alone or move in teams,
Through dark cut flares of flashing light,
Sweat, blood and tears coat the night.

How goes the war tonight?
With lurking spies out of sight,
All’s clear on the western line,
In the centre heroes shine.

Hearts pounding fast with fear,
Wait as our enemies appear.
Constant battles to win the prize,
One mistake could end our lives.

How goes the war tonight?
Holding courage with all our might,
All’s clear on the western line,
But behind our backs the wolves will dine.

Our fiercest battles are fought with eyes,
Our words decide who lives and dies.
Love and friendship cause us pain,
When they ship us off to war again.

How goes the war tonight?
Skirmishes of jibe and slight,
All’s clear in the western skies,
But within our ranks the true war lies.
