Dirty Hands

Your dirty hands upon me. 
I tremble at the thought. 
Begging let my spirit free. 
The mad militia I have fought. 

Love still binds my heart to you, 
despite the freely dripping blood.
Your presence on a raging coup,
leaching my shell changing blue. 

Ripping the loaded gun so cold 
from your hot and beating hand. 
You tackle me to the floor I fold.
Tis a  miracle I land.

I am one and one with God. 
Through him the hand we have declawed.
