The armour, the warrior

Original Submission by Sara Saeed khan

The red bled through his body

So did on his gloves

Both of them were nervous

One was scared to lose his life

the other one didn't want him to lose his love but the white coat stood as an armour In front of the fear or hesitation

As it always does

It has sleepless nights so

Others can sleep well

giving away a part of itself

To complete others

The white coat, The person

The armour, The warrior
