LOYALTY

Loyalty.
You say, that I'm not loyal.
but I would fight
      to the end of the Earth for you,

And I'm not even that good with a sword,
so I would probably die halfway.

You cry with your tears against the wall,
and say that my soul
has to be more soft,

but honey, how can I be less abrasive
when you're doing something wrong,
and ripping the heart
out of somebody else?

You say that I wouldn't fight to the end of the Earth for you,-
but has it ever occurred to you,
that the way to the end of the Earth,
might be through you?

end of the earth in second instance = what's "good", the path to righteousness/virtuosity. Poem is on Katie.

I'd never have fought with her if I didn't care about her.
How could I have let her run around with underwear on her head? *leans his chin on his hand stares out of the window forlornly* I couldn't have.

... I never fought with her for me, I fought with her for her. I wish she could have taken that into account.
