Armor

You know that pain in your heart The one you get from someone you love It’s a hurt I want to avoid Wish I could cover my heart with a glove. No, better yet have an armor of steel Protection from the harm he inflicts Nothing could penetrate the wall Maybe end up with just a few nicks. His words could not break through Nor his lack of compassion for me Not even the fact I come last in his life They’d bounce off one, two, three. I know I’d be blocking the good With this prison to keep out the ache Right now I don’t really care I’ve had all that I can take.
