Take Off Your Armor

Take off you armor and lay down your shield.
Give her your sword and meet her in the field
Stand there before her to see what she does
Will she strike you down or offer the curiosity of love

The outcome won't matter if you never try
So lay down your amor and look her in the eye
Speak from your heart and if she decides to impale it
Get back on your horse with no need to high tail it

Just put down your shield and hand her the sword
Because your vulnerability will do so much more than your words
Give her the power to destroy you. It's the only way that you'll know
If you stand on a battlefield or in field of flowers that grow.

Beautifully written. Such deep truths. When we love, we do hand over the power to destroy.

I handed the sword of vulnerability to someone once. The wound still bleeds. I'll not do that again. I know what people can and will do with that kind of power.

@LadyBronte Thank you,
Love is a double-edged sword in most cases.
And yes..., it can destroy you.
I've been destroyed a few times myself.
I've probably destroyed a few people too.

I'm undecided if I'll ever take my armor off again, though I think I'd like to.
