My Knight In Shining Armor Poem by Dee Corpolongo

My Knight in Shining Armor

Hers is a tale I'll tell of memories
that happened so many years before
I used to hang out with some wayward girls
Not knowing the problems I would soon endure

One day a friend had excitingly suggested
We'd go for a ride with some cool guys
to visit this 'Haunted House' in Eastchester
along with saying some other little lies

It turned out to be an old abandoned house
a bunch of mattresses thrown on the floor
My friend laid down with some of the guys
As I panicked looking for the door

They started calling me names like baby
and saying they'll be no ride home for me
while my eyes started filling up with tears
though no way would I let them ever see

It hurt but I just headed out walking
and outside there was this one big guy
He said "come with me, I'll take you home"
and that he did leaving me with a sigh

He was my own Knight in Shining Armor
My first true love back in the day
He was the first guy I fell in love with
and forever in my heart he will always stay.
