A chink in the armour

If you live and if you love

There is a fair chance that you would hurt

Through shining eyes and an aching heart

You learn your lessons that never part


And you start building an armour

Piece by piece, year by year

To defend against the onslaught

Of hurtful untrue chatter


Glad that the armour is now built

You decide to rest a bit

That's that time you let someone to appear

And hit the chink in your armour

  1. Often the armour becomes so thick and heavy it prevents me from going out and I can't even recognise myself in the mirror
