covered in skin (protected by armor)

blood is a life force i'm willng to get rid of if i can just have a moment of your time to let you in on a secret about love pushing a heart to beat wildly enough to jump out of the body and live freely as long as it has the ability to love who it wants to love when it wants to love with no consequences with no one stopping it from feeling the passion it feels. there are no words to express how to discontinue feeling nothing inside prepared me for the letdown of saftey but everything inside showed me how to keep everything out. i have armor made of the toughest skin, and i will never let you (w)in beat down these walls, all you'll get is a bloody heart jumping for freedom from a chest cavity that encased it's love like a prisoner. i'll keep me from you forever.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

*sigh* the first part of the title comes from one of the most beautiful songs ever "colorblind" by the counting crows. the poem comes from the beating of my heart when it's telling me my decisions are all wrong. i just want to feel safe again.
