Armor On

A Poem About Being Hurt by Love

By James BrownbackPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

I've given my heart away to too many men.

I'm not ready to throw another piece of me into your lion's den.

Lie, after little white lie, I could count each time on both hands.

All these tears I've been left to cry,

you'll rarely see me with a dry eye.

You still hurt, every single time you're on my mind.

I wish I could fast forward through this endless rewind.

Wounds heal, they take time, yes they do.

I am a warrior.

I'm unstoppable too.

You cracked my armor and tried to break through.

In me, you saw a heart glowing and laced within the strongest of steel.

I don't think you could ever understand the way you make me feel.

Watch me wave goodbye to you.

Damn, that statement is long overdue.
