Numb Companions (Dax Danielle)

So far I go When I was far away I took with me a numb companion Soothing though barbed. He took my soul. Here there were others - armoured, Their land was a perimeter, They felt secure, Safe with the knowledge of restraint - They tongued between the lines. Each of us had a double. A suited entertainer, Who knew no fear And wore no protection to the fight, And had yet to taste - The bitterness of restraint.
