words through a straw

don't be confused by my interruptions
don't let me cut you off in midsentence
no need to feel that disruptions
need balance with repentence
not with me
you've got no motives i can see
besides, i'm not a judge
i'm not a member of a jury
i never took an oath
i'm just saying you shouldn't worry
it'd take a little more than stumbling
to get me down
i might give my kingdom for a girl
but i'll never give my crown
it's just the way i have to be now
it's all that's left of the halo i once wore
somehow it got deformed in the fiery rage
of too many verbal wars
i got through it, i'm still standing
i'll probably be there again
but it's nothing that i'm planning
and you, you're alright with me
you've never done me any harm
you've only spoken from your heart
and wondered if it caused alarm
please be that way, with me at least
i believe that kindness is the only way to heal the beast
don't fear the outcome
just speak the peace
