I knew
Deep inside me
Where my hidden thoughts lie
I knew
When I gazed at created things
I knew
When I surveyed your pain
And your burden
I knew
Yet I turned
Like a soldier
Promptly on command
About face
And the lie
Oh that vicious lie
Disguised
And concealed to masquerade
And the lie became my truth
And so
Broken, beaten
Beyond recognition
You came to me
But why
Is your mercy so foolish
That you would defend me
So worthless
So tainted and diseased
Logic defying grace
Somehow the inexplicable draws me
Compels me
You will not leave me alone
That you should have destroyed me
But chose to pay my debt
It baffles me
