I told the harpies only you -
a half-lie their keen eyes saw through.
They tore my hair because they knew
I have to hold the steelyard too.
And with its weight, what shall I do
with half my heart’s entire truth?
Damn Damocles, I can’t be useful -
pressure only leaves me bruised.
I told the harpies only you -
a half-lie their keen eyes saw through.
They tore my hair because they knew
I have to hold the steelyard too.
And with its weight, what can I do
with half my heart’s entire truth?
Damn Damocles, I can’t be useful -
heat uncloaks me, weak and bruised.
I’ll tell the harpies I withdrew
when overrun, with fear suffused
and hope they claw my form in two
and swear they’ll suffer no fake news.
