My Armored Heart

I have many layers of armour

each one gained from the same thing

each layer has its own fault

but for each layer that is penetrated I just add a new one

until one day a storm forms

I foolishly think nothing can break me

but the storm of a thousand daggers proves me wrong

the daggers ripping the armour from my skin

the daggers ripping the flesh from my bones

the daggers ripping my bones apart exposing my heart

the storm subsides and my heart lays exposed

then the bullet penetrates my heart

exploding the trapped feelings that I didn't know existed
