Poem 03 | My Knight Has Fallen.

You always thought you were my

Knight in shining armor.

And for a while I thought you were too.

Oh, boy. You were everything.

I remember that frigid September night

Overseen by the golden-speckled

Obsidian sky.

You plucked the cigarette out my mouth,

Took a drag and told me,

"I'll smoke up every cigarette you've got

if it means saving you."

You flung it into the sea of Fall leaves.

I looked up at you,

Your eyes lit up, dazzling

like the stars above our heads

And I thought you were my everything.

Thought you'd do anything to save me.

You thought so too, Mr. Knight,

Until it became too much

and you suffocated.

And now I must save myself

From this unruly sadness.
