Leave me be

Toughest suit of armour, high and strong is the fence
That I build around my heart
Arduous struggles, uphill battles, fights very intense
None can take my defence apart

Who’d have thought, it is not the hardest that cuts through the mettle
But the gentlest kind, that shakes the ground beneath
One sweet smile, one loving glance and one kind word cause to unsettle
That warm embrace with his arms around takes away the breath

The suit of armour crumbles down, the solid fence melts to ash
I stand naked and exposed, trying in vain to stop the breakage
Wish we’d been strangers, arrows pierce through the bones tearing the flesh
Unconditionally, I surrender my entirety as you take me hostage

When we share, you are kind. You heal and comfort beyond compare
It hurts deep inside, pain seeps through every cell when you are not returned
O love! you leave me be. Shattered pieces of my broken soul everywhere
I want to go back to my cocoon please, until the remnants of me, disintegrated
