The People who we love

The People who we love

A Poem by Priscilla

The People who we love
People who love me
they grow on me like moss
I allow them to flourish to their hearts content
while i walk through life protected against the cold.
Coziness itself
My blanket of moss and I.
And if war breaks out, the people who love me.
Become a horn-like layer and so i march
Through the world
Armor plated against the fire.
Untouchable.
I have my harness of bone.
But when someone who has grown on me goes away 
I'm left wounded.
Then I scurry/move uncertainly though the world
Vulnerable.
Vulnerability itself.
Me and my wounds which does not want to heal
When the people who i thought loves me goes away.
