Templar

I swallowed my convictions
like the jagged blade of a knife
plunging to my center -
I forgot or just misunderstood
the forgiveness in the sunrise,
I sought forgiveness in the twilight -
I piled anger atop weakness
on a plate of apprehension
cut with that deadly blade -
I marched straight into battle
against the heart inside of me,
I won and yet I lost -
So be my knight in shining armor,
my guardian, my templar,
bring me to the right side -
the light side -
and help me find
forgiveness in the sunrise.
