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
