Your hands were rough as it reached for the soft spot on my heart
I’ve always been tender
But it hurt like hell when you pulled
You begged till I couldn’t take anymore
I let you in
I never do that
I get a kick out of the tussle
Fully armed and ready for battle
But with you under my cover
Walls that were built came tumbling down
No cover to protect me
“VULNERABLE”
Cried my heart
“DANGER”
My soul exclaimed
But the more I let you bandage my wounds
The less I felt the need to wear war paint
I’ll come out of my camo for you
Set down my rifle in the midst of fire
“I’ll protect you”
You say
And protect you do
