The love we thought we had to give

Is an entirely different meaning of love we have now 

We came together as broken pieces 

Mending each other together separately 

While shielding our love from our own prejudice views

Individuals don’t have the strength to penetrate through 

Though we came close to letting our shield fall 

Quickly grabbing ahold because our hands loosened slightly 

That minuscule change in grip almost costed our love’s prominence 

Head to toe in armor 

Armored and ready to fight the views that have lingered on our backs

However long it takes 

years

Sweat, tears 

sessions

Sweat, tears 

lessons
