Shield & Sword

Shield & Sword

By Shaire Blythe

A real man, true, consistent

All we had to offer laid out on the table, but there was one sword

Told you you could keep it

I might have wanted a shield, especially at beginning

But with a shield you can never reach what you might be missing

And I would've missed it

The journey, glimpse of what a true man can give me

And still it makes no sense

Why, now, refuse all we'd given

Looking back now, I've been through this

No comparing, But the same movements

Steady rope that starts to frail for a hidden reason that's never really hidden

And at the end of the day, it's all stupid

But I'm refusing to run

I'll be the most beautiful mess, No excuses
