Defensive Valentine

I protect my sins
From all the harm
That might improve them
I don't want the truth to win
At first I push against it
Or else I cave immediately
With a sense of relief
And quiet disbelief
Whatever I take the truth to be
Is for me to know and you
To discover I defend my sins
To the last dregs of forever
But you always knew me
So at least one of us is free
