My Armour

Shivering, I hear your
hurtful words

Unknowingly to you,
they tear me up
inside

As I watch the exhalation of
my cigarette smoke curl

Toward the ceiling

I hear the rejection,
churning a whirlwind of
sorrow in my
heart

You mean everything
to me

You are my rock,
my armour

My very soul

Is ripped in two.

You control the brunt
of my emotions

and my heart,
is you.
