Knight In Front of Woman from Pexels
Happy Women’s History Month! I wrote this poem about a year ago, and it’s one of the favorites I’ve ever written. I hope you all enjoy it!
Wake up! wake up! I say to my love
He came from there and might go back to above
An arrow yes, it pierced his heart,
but let me my dear go back to the start
my brother, yes, my dear older brother
Went crazy and killed my dear old mother
We mourned her and mourned her for days and days
We tried but we could not disperse the pain
My father told me to run away
In case my brother came back for me another day
He sent with me a knight in armor
I was skeptical cause he was one in number
We set out in the dead of night
I did not want to go the so we had a fight
It woke my brother up and I kid you not,
He started hacking and hacking at the lock
We had no other option so we jumped out the window
It was kind of fun but when I landed it hurt though
He took me to the woods to hide in a hut
When he took me away from my family it felt like id been cut
When I look back, it was all for good reason
But I was so angry I wanted to commit treason
In the sense that I wanted to go back
I knew it, I just knew it, I was about to crack
But the knight in armor, yes the caring knight
When I was scared, he held me tight by night
Yes, as you can imagine we soon fell in love
Yes, my love that came from above
We hid in the woods for ten long years
We got married had kids but the end was near
My brother had not come out of his spell
I heard he was like a demon from hell
My brother, yes my dear older brother
soon found us in the woods by the river
He found my husband and put an arrow through his heart
And here we are back where the story did start
Wake up! Wake up! I said to my love
My knight in armor still did not budge
He died, yes, right there in my arms
I vowed to destroy my brother who brought him harm
That’s my story, I hope you enjoyed it
But mark my words this isn’t the end
I might come back and tell you a different tale
But until then, so long, farewell
