I wanted you to be my knight in shining armor
Scooping me up, whispering, “it’ll be okay.”
Cupping my face and kissing me
Until stars shone in my eyes
I wanted your heart to join mine
In this endless wake of today
Side-by-side
Soul-to-soul
You reach and I sense you
I see you reflected in the moon
I know you’re there
but you’re not here
I’ve wept
I’ve lamented
I’ve shut my heart saying no more…
Until it split open
So I crafted my own armor
From broken-hearted shards
And picked myself up
Letting the sun kiss my face
I rewrote my story
Word-by-word
Day-by-day
Until stars shone in my soul
Glowing whole
Whispering, “it’ll be okay.”
