Secret hideaway in the pennines

My armour is impregnable

No one can get in

There are no cracks within it

for someone to slip in.

My castle walls are stronger

So I can be safe from pain

My heart is locked so tightly

It'll never see the sun again

Cupid can take his shot

But no arrows will get through

My armour is impregnable

So nothing can get through

Hey Phil, son of Coul, hope you're ok. Those lyrics remind me of I Am a Rock by Simon and Garfunkel

The problem with impenetrable armour is that it means you can't ever move.

"The problem with impenetrable armour is that it means you can't ever move."

Great point. It restricts you. Keeps you safe but what's the point in safety. Life is about feeling discomfort at times. No risk - no story.

Saying that, if you have been in many battles, maybe that safety and stillness is exactly what you need.

Look after yourself AC.

One thought for the poets: Armour is only one letter away from Amour. Take care AC x

That’s exactly right.

Is a life lived in safety a life that’s lived?

That’s a fair and understandable reaction.

Personally my worst fear from breaking up is to close off and give up on finding ‘that person’. I think that closing my heart is hurting and punishing myself for someone else’s issues.

I think that being open is an act of courage, loving is a gift and whilst being hurt is always a possibility, the risks don’t outweigh the rewards

I have truly loved and been in love twice. That all consuming devotion of two lives becoming one, being the air that we each breath, the thoughts that you think, the joy that touches your very soul, the willingness to give your heart completely.

The first was cruelly ripped away from me, carrying my unborn child with it.

The second, I let slip away, because I was foolish and withdrew into myself.

Both times it has left a void in my heart that cannot be filled.

The phrase "it is better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all" is a lie.

Having your hopes and dreams and desires ripped from your heart and soul is the most painful thing that any person can experience, have it happen twice is more than anyone should ever have to endure

I can’t possibly understand your pain, but I can offer you an ear, a safe space and hugs.

I understand exactly your pain as I’ve had the same thing.

My belief remains the same but I don’t judge you for your choices regarding your heart as it’s yours.

So this.

Those who lost courage to try are kind of half dead.

I believe if you can speak of it.. you can deal with it. I really do. Lots of light love and strength your way.

You'll live and love again.

That’s challenging and kinda sad. I think you can learn to protect your heart as you get older and wiser without locking it away though. And sometimes you just want a bit of space from all that complicated heavy stuff but still enjoy kindness, tenderness etc
