Decision

Once a knight,

So many holes in my armor now.

I can hardly stand,

Everything seems to fall about me.

The kingdom I had believed in,

Fought for had fallen as sure as I.

Cast away the armor,

Set aside my sword.

The knight is no more.

——–

Thinnest length,

Long-forgotten,

Did not believe that I had even still held on.

She proved me wrong,

But it’s all over now.

No more grasping at that faint string,

I let it go and fell away.
