She

illuminate my mind I've gone cold
my honor code binds me
I wish to go free

I want to ride with the brotherhood of men
they are my soul

a woman let me down
apologies to my own likeness
but I don't trust you

innocence lost and so it goes
my hurt won't leave me and I'm speechless
your deceptive delicate curves
so inviting you didn't tell me you were packing

I ache with the need to protect
to take you in but as I do it
you're at my throat
that look in your eyes tells come in, then run

I listen to my gut

if you see a switch up in me
it's because you turn the key while I slept
came in where you weren't invited

overridden with faith,

a belief in myself
I will slay the beast
for she is me cut in twain
