white flag at half mast

i've unbound my armor
thrown blades to the fire
to be melted and never again to cause harm
my weakness exposed now
as i kneel in your shadow
i know you are angry and fully armed

i'm so tired from fearing
i can feel your point pushing
just a little more force and the deed will be done
i'll not offer eye contact
with you standing above me
you can have all the glory of this battle won

i'll give you a target
pinpoint a location
so you can strike quickly and be on your way
i really do love you
with all of myself, dear
those are the last words you will hear me say
