Knight in Shining Armor
It's a warm, sunny day
Walking in this field with you.
The birds are chirping, the grass is green.
A light breeze whispers across my neck.
I spot a trench in the field.
"A stream," I think.
But then I fall.
I must've tripped.
It probably was a mistake.
I grasp a ledge, hanging for dear life.
There is an empty blackness below.
I see you up there, my prince.
But you are laughing.
This is no mistake.
You reach to help me,
I can see the grass-
Then you let go.
Back on the ledge I see the menacing pit below me.
I cry.
A voice in my head tells me you are not my love.
For it is you who has thrown me into this pit of dispair.
I wish for love, but it is not you who can help me.
I must wait,
my life in my hands,
Until he comes to save me.
My true love,
My knight in shining armor.
