am i still holy?
am i still wholly yours?
i walked among your men
carried your weapons
your truths
your beliefs
the ground under my feet
is burnt ash now
am i still holy
as i am now
soaked in blood
of your
my
our
enemies
am i still yours
if the body
i have embodied
for so long
doesn't feel right
doesn't feel
at all
'there's a betrayer'
i hear them whisper it
eyes lurking
fists clenching
they are hungry beasts
restless
on the endless run
they circle me
my eyes are the betrayer
their are the judge
guilty or not
the decision
will be made
as it has been
many times before me
before you
before us
my breath is steady
as i know now
i am as unholy
as i am not yours
