Knight in Tarnished Armor A wounded Knight as it would have appeared I ran to his rescue to save him from the woes He healed over time, with his fake promises and lies Always to defend himself, the undying need for Sainthood Haunting him. As time went on, I noticed the armor he claimed to wear so proudly Was tarnished with deceit, selfishness, and cowardly pretence I would try to polish it daily, tirelessly, attempting to see that shine That first caught my eye Yet, all the attempts were futile, and his amour not only remained tarnished and bent, it began to rust away. Then again the woes and wolves were knocking at the castle door. I pleaded for his protection, I had honored him so much But he ran and hid, among the fake and shallow bushes made from plastic Something to create the illusion there was truly life and love growing near,this once safe haven. The woes came in, and I watched him cower behind the fake and phoney plastic As they slowly destroyed each and every part of me, and demolished the castle. But my soul could still see him, long after the threat of harm to HIM was gone, Hiding, looking for words of consolation spoken by others before him As he finally showed his face, looking upon the bloody carnage and rusted armor He knew then, not only was he a coward, deceitful and a liar, but he had lost all All chances of knowing what it meant to be a saint in the eyes of someone who loved him Good luck ,,,, the Knight in Tarnished Armor, and God be with the next princess that would ever take pity on your cowardly ways, only to wither and die within your shallow transparent soul. |
