Disclaimer: If I owned it, you would know, because I'd be in it!
Their words flew at me like daggers, with points as sharp as pins,
Though my heart could be easily punctured, I wouldn't let them in.
But suddenly, some hit my chest; the sharpest went straight through,
I couldn't believe what had happened, for I knew their words weren't true.
By now, my eyes were full of tears, but I couldn't turn to run,
I was glued to the ground with fear, and I knew what I had just done.
I had let their words pierce my shield, and penetrate my heart,
Once again, I was on my own, I had brought myself back to the start.
I cried and cried, till I had no strength, but they all laughed and stared,
I looked at your eyes, they sympathised, I knew you were the only one that cared.
With your deep blue eyes, and your warm smile, you protected me like a shield,
You comforted me, stayed by my side, until the wounds had healed.
And now I'd like to thank you so much, for embracing me in your calm,
When I needed a shoulder to cry on, thanks for giving your arm.
