Tarnished

my knight puts up no fight
not for what's right
in front of him
I will be gone
there's no knight here
I'm moving on.
Tarnished cans and
broken glass
I've been a fool for
the time's long past.
built up in front of my eyes
I still believed your
well placed lies.
straight to my heart
your arrow shot
and that heartache
is all i've got.
swimming through lies
trying to break the surface
one day i'll be free
and I'll reminice
on this time I fell for
a knight in tarnished armor
and even though my heart is broke
I had to walk out the door.

Very theme oriented, and the cans and glass allude to alcohol. I've heard the pain of a wife of an alcoholic Is terrific. Strength is the theme!

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
