Forgot your name
the moment you said it.
You tell me your name
and I forget it.
We talk about
what we do for a living
and get another drink.
And you say that I'm so distant
and distance is what I keep.
This is my secret weapon,
my strategy.
To keep safe
what's so frail
out of harm’s way.
This is my suit of armour
three inches thick
this is my chain mail shirt
this is my bulletproof vest.
You say her name
and that you don't regret it.
You say it left you maimed
I say you should not let it
I'm asking whether
there are any living
on the battlefields left
And you stay on your barricade
atop the battlements.
You're locked in your fortress
and the walls are caving in.
To keep safe
what's so frail
out of harm’s way.
