[Edit: My first entry to the Tattoo That Line Challenge. There's a line in this one I would definitely get tattooed on my body, if that was my cup of tea. I hope it's clear which it is, otherwise it's not such a great line as I think it is.] My fourth entry to the nonet challenge. Breakups are an end, but they are also a beginning. They hurt, but they can also shape you, and show you what you're made of. Intimacy means vulnerability, which takes courage. Enjoy! I'll include a note in the comments with links to my other entries. (PS. I googled "how many syllables in shield" just to be absolutely sure!)

maybe love's a bloody battle ground

heat, screaming, body fluids.

shieldless. impaled. pain. fury.

draw the sword from your gut

and swing it, with your

face turned to the

glorious

blood-red

dawn
