Turtle Heart'D Human
I have a turtle
shell heart
when it comes to you
I
Used
To like
To walk around
Like one
Of the
Knights
Of
The round
table
I
Was
King Arthurs
Youngest
disciple
I
Gladly paraded
About the town
In my impenetrable
Armour
But then
You
Came along
And
Flipped
Me upside down
Exposing
My
Soft
Vulnerable beating life
source
Organ............................................
I hoped
That
No one would ever make feel again...........
You see
I
have a turtle
shell heart
when it comes to you.....
and
I
Am
Afraid
Of what that could do.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Because
The underside
Of
Turtle
Skin is often known to bruise
Cupids Arrows
are the most
common cause of death
to
the
Upward
Facing
legs in the air flailing........
Amorous yet
delirious
Turtle
heart'd
Human
