Not Tonight

 Tuesday, 22nd December 2015, 9:30pm

I'm weak tonight
Not a fight
Left in me.

If you have a bone to pick
May I suggest next week?

I promise
I'll scream my lungs out
I'll even
Throw in
a cry.
But, not tonight.

Don't tell me your demons.
I care,
I swear!
I do!

But will you don steel for me?
Will you sharpen your sword?
Will you be brave and kind?
Will you fight?
No?
Then forgive me.
I cannot.
Sit here and pretend
That I have more love for you
Than I have for me.

I need to go change
Put on my rusty armor,
Be my own knight
And save
Me.
