Annabelle Jane Poet Rhyme

What Is It Good For?

You are my warrior.
The fighter, my own.
Let me be your armour,
And never outgrown.

I cry for you, warrior,
Or one day I might.
If you, gentle lover,
Are called up to fight.

For you would be taken,
With no time to think.
And see in your armour
The slightest of chinks.

A chink which could open
The door for just one
Arrow, or spear...
Or kiss from a gun.
