The Leash

Perseus holds the head of Medusa

oh what i would give to be her

my hands cannot hold steady

when you reach out to me

Jaimie boy oh if you could tell

would you ever be taken as i am

that i looked to you every night

you did not seem to notice

god had made your sweetheart wrong

born to suffer, born only to die

a dog will rut its way into harm

when one lets off the leash

to reveal what i once was

just for once, just for once

in this she is not unique

to have lied to a lover

if for want of a pure touch

to be common, to be seen as i am

salute your rage, a hammer

beat upon me, crumble me as powder

wipe me off of your uniform

it's the same blood that you loved

i don't think that you are a fool

but you cannot deny me as a woman

oh ensign, i was your woman
