Temporary Knight


You treated me like a princess

You were my knight

You saved me

From my castle in the clouds

Those scary dragons trying to get in

 

But soon you rode away

I realized I wasn't your only princess

You never meant to stay

 

I went back to my castle

Alone

The dragons swept me up

Consumed me

From the inside out

 

I wanted a knight to come and save me

From the dragons of my mind
