Enemy Mine
As I walk or sit unaware
There lurks a stranger stalking, breathing
In my midst a living nightmare
The enemy schemes, brooding, seething
I know not why, or when or how
This creature will arouse, attack
Prepared or not will I allow
My soul bare, exposed, alack?
It was my heart I did not guard
Stained by evil thoughts, regrets
Broken as glass and left a shard
So deep a wound, it stabs, insets
My tongue, I say, my tongue creates
Foolish words and lies, mistakes
Ah, the enemy that berates
Conscience now attunes, awakes
From my heart, my mouth does speak
The time has come to choose, decide
Worst enemy of mine? Both are weak
In one alone secrets grow, hide
Oh, wavering heart, this enemy, mine
Falsely hidden, the trouble, curse
Unveiling when my tongue will align
Darkness of heart, truly ugly, worse
