the shield and the sword: a poem

Theme song: memories by within temptation 

Most of my memories fade to black
I can't recall any of them anymore, see
But there's one that remains through the crack
A lover, a friend, a foe and enemy
For she is all of these things and more to me

She holds the key to my heart
With the power to uplift or destroy,
And this is just the start
I'm just a game, a damaged toy

How I tremble at the memory of you
Your love cuts deep bleeding the red 
Caught between freedom and the chains of you
And I confess I can't get you out of my head. 

I don't know what to do
Give in and be in sin,
Or resist and lead on to the healing too
The blade wants to cut the skin

"She" isn't a person though she makes play as one,
The art imitating life but she doesn't breath
She ice old steel and hard as stone, that one
She longs to get to what lies beneath 

But she doesn't know there's been a shift
A change in the atoms that make me up
I've been born from Above if you catch my drift 
I no longer blend drinking holiness and darkness's cup. 

I fight my battles with a different knife
The sword of the Spirit the word of God
She can and will come knocking at the door of strife,
But my will to survive will answer with all I've got. 

Ephesians 6:16-17
King James Version
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Encouragent: don't give in. Even when temptation comes knocking. Even when the nenories of yesterday creep up. Even when darkness presses in on every side. You're much stronger than you think. Better equipped too. Keep fighting. Heaven fights with you.
