Naked Shield


Reruns of my life
Faintly cross my eyes
Pausing now and then
For close ups of what
Were fabled so wonderful
Things I thought to be
Quite beautiful and real
In my secret heart of hearts
The one you can not show
One you can not think
Very one grasped so tightly
In the hands of my
Deepest obstacle faced
So blindly and so ignorantly
Without the slightest protection
To keep me safe within
Leaving me exposed so bare
Against the world I sought out
To leave forever without
A second to look back on
But I wasn't careful enough
With my fantasies and
Overrated fancies of the
Bloody corpses I wished real
The carnage I desired to inflict
Upon the world I had already
Closed behind large doors
That were easily opened again
Out there to be seen
And to be crossed while
I stood naked in my
Fragility and innocence once more
Waiting to be covered by
A shield to save me from them
Those I left behind me
In my demonic hole of hearts
Stripped free of metallic doors
That held it all inside
These reruns I see now and again
Remind how I fell in silence
Fell in heinous ignorance
To my doomed doors
Once again
