My Knight

We play an endless game
Tit for tat
An eye for an eye
A jab for a jab
A shot for a shot
A stab for a stab
Right in the back
Behind my eyes
Thought I saw
But was left blind
To that attack
Led by you of all else
Who knew my weak spots
And blind sides
Who stood to shield me
From prying eyes
as I cried
And cried and cried
For the things to come
For the things I fought inside
That even you couldn't protect me from
But now left me here alone
Saying you're done
Dropping your sword
Turning your back to me
Waiting 'til mine you could see
So that then you make the final blow
And finally let my scarred soul go
