Slay me down

There is a name of one

who is my kryptonite

upon utterance all my defences

fall down I cower and return

to my world of torment

The name is secret to all but few

Forever in fear that the name be known

that all will utter it seemingly innocently

and take me down

revengeful, resentful, trust in few

Is it you?

Precious

You are my best friend

I cared for you before we even met

All the unspeakable things

I held out to account

When we pull others up

Out of the mud

It is surely to be flown at us

I wore it well enough

All for Him

and you.
