The armour we wear
is designed to see
who cares.
Love is a battlefield.
We should choose our wars
carefully.
…………………………….
Everyone bleeds
to some degree.
Some wounds
you cannot see.
And a broken heart
cannot mend
if words remain
unsaid.
………………………………….
Words spoken
heartfelt
upon deaf ears
they fell.
Unable to penetrate
his line of defence
she gave up in the
end.
