White Knight Poems

The sound of her voice brightens my eyes
and elevates the corners of my mouth

We talk about this, about that
...

I wasn't looking...
still I found you...
I wasn't empty...
yet you filled me...
...

The curve of her lips
the flash of her smile
I go back to work
be it only awhile
...

I awake to a new day, clear and bright
but soon my mind is awash with her memories
I regain my footing long enough to watch
myself get swept away in a torrent of
...

Another day goes by and nothing go right.
My days and nights pass without my noticing.
I go to sleep with the thought
that my today was a nightmare
...

How do I tell her what I can't say

When the best thing she could do is just walk away
...

I wait for you
As light fades to utter darkness
As minutes build by seconds into hours
and hours by minutes into days
...
