Alcohol armour

love is the word you use to betray
love is the word you use to trap
love is the word you use
when the fist
is resting

do they ever ask you, at work, why your knuckles look bruised so?
they must think you are
a real tough guy
out slaying wrongs
every night of the week

such a brave knight, in your alcohol armour

put away your love, my lover
before it kills

me
