i'm doing it again
a hard veneer
brittle and so so thin
my only barrier
against your endless attack
holding back the tide
with flimsy defense
difficulty eased
by cherished support
you swim in sharklike circles
waiting biding your time
watching wolflike
for the slightest weakness
then plan your attack
i want to be brave
stand my ground
keep you out
you sense i'm alone
and fire your salvo
of arrows poisoned
with your burning hate
for something you profess to love
each direct hit
on my glass thin shield
chips away a piece of me
"You don’t sit down and write a wish list about the person you are going to fall violently in love with. It just doesn’t work like that." - Stephen Fry
