Saccharine Soldier

I'll be your knight,

Though my armour has long stopped shining

My horse stays tethered and I can't ride him

My sword is notched and really should be kept in the sheath

I dont' have a castle

Probably best, it would be drafty and not level

But looking close, and real close

Your dowry is hardly fetching

You don't even have a horse

For some saccharine and perfect reason

I'll be your knight anyway

Fight to the death,

Catch in your breath,

Defending your honour,

Regailing your splendour,

Not for the glory,

Not for the story,

All I need now, or ever will after now,

Is your love

Your arms

Your mouth

Your ears

You.
