The Banner - Sunlight

did I..?
were you held just a bit too hard
in my arms
were you kept just a bit too long?
is it morning again?
so comes the sun so goes your eyes
weren't they mine?
you rise to your feet
wipe the soil from your knees
bound away with the breath from chest as I lay vexed
is it morning again?
god damn the sun
what calls to you that you can't refuse?
is it true?
did I proclaim just a bit too loud? merely a beast who loves only as a beast knows how
didn't you want a gun?
broken beaten no light no sun
didn't I destroy them all as you called?
now your feet are firmly planted just the way I showed you how
look at you now: straight and tall and with me left on the ground
is it morning again?
here I lay cold and supine with my mind
nailed down in your shadow look how easily you flee
something handsomer now
it's no longer a beast that you need
did I..?
were you held just a bit too hard
in my arms
were you kept just a bit too long?
