In My Own Defense
I do not know what it was
Was it the pain in your eyes
Or the soft quiver in your voice
Whatever it may have been
It drew me like a moth to the flame
Strange as it seems
I should say it drew me as the flame to the moth
You always the victim
Me
Perhaps in some other time
A hero or an anti-hero of sorts
A paladin of virtue
My armor rusts away
But my sword is still sharp
As always I carry it unsheathed
Still
It was your nature that brought me here
Whether or not you wanted it
And like a wall
You shelter from the harsh wind
Protected in my shade from the blazing sun
All the while
Absentmindedly vandalising me with graffiti
But I like the colors
So dry your eyes
And know I need you just as much
As you need me
Pathetically Grown Up Teen
W/ a side of an occasional something extra
