Armor


i wish they would screamed

i wish somehow they would of told us

how painful it was for them to breath 

instead  of being the knight

who's armor always shone brightly

i wish they would have realized 

that lnights need a break from fighting 

if only they had known

that maidens will fight to 

especially if that someone they were fighting for

was  a hero like you

if onky they had realized 

that we could be their swords

that they use to fight against

the worst things in this world

if only we had showed them

how we survived lifes fights

if only by some twist of fate

the maiden could protect the knight

if only we had realized 

what its like to be a knight

who sees every flaw in humanity

if only we could have showed them lifes alright

maybe then before me , instead of engraved rock

a knight would shine his armer 

chivalry would clean his thoughts

but now a headstone stands 

surrounded by many maidens

as they look up into the sky 

and imagine what if somehow

they could have been the armor 

to the knight who was their friend
