Armor

To enter the battle
though I have shed my
armor long ago
never allowing the wounds to scar over
never dulling all the sensations of
loving someone
Still, I bear my wounds proudly
When asked to give 
account of myself
I will be able to hold my head high
and say I have loved
and I have been loved
So I return once more into the breach
to take up the sword
my sharpened heart
and fight the fight that is worth fighting
The fight to prove my love
