Orange Threat

Increased security is meaningless
When that which matters is already gone.
My ribcage can be reinforced for stress,
My sinews strengthened, an alert turned on
Inside my mind, my every moment ready
To serve, protect, defend my heart from theft,
But you already with a mix of heady
Strong emotions took it out and left.
I cannot bar the door - the horse is far
Afield, and any effort now will only
Remind me how no cross, shield, ward, or bar
From you can leave me anything but lonely.
So I build no defenses against you
Or anything that you might choose to do.
