I gathered around me <br />a shield <br />(a shield of pain) <br />through which I thought <br />no-one could pass. <br /> <br />Ever indifferent did I remain <br />rejecting love and its attendant pain. <br /> <br />Yet you... <br />indifferent <br />to your pain <br />put a hand through that shield <br />and touched my heart.<br /><br />Pisapia Gina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/en-guarde/
