silly knight.

you were a knight,
noble & true,
but i couldn't handle that about you.

you tried to save me,
mostly from myself,
but of course you couldn't do that,
silly knight.

too stubborn.

almost a prince charming,
but that went south too;
when i left,
i know you cried,
please don't think i didn't miss you.

but to leave i had no choice
i had been held there for too long;
keeping to one place
doesn't sit well
with hummingbirds like me.

it makes us think.

& that's a bad thing.

so, you see, i had to go
& flit about alone,
to realize for myself
the truths that you had told.

& now we're so unsure
if what we did was right
now all i wish for myself
is that you'll hold me through the night.
