Playing Knight

Talking like I know you
mouthing off
Pretending to laugh
You are so predictable.
Anger isn’t an option,
concerning you
self pity is death
Intelligence is faux
So are you.

Once upon a time...
And then...
Also....

Jump into my fairytale
feet first
you knight in jeans

Rip the pretty damsel
out of her pretty tower,
ignore
the dragon sleeping at her feet,
both cozy in front of the fire

Drag her onto your stick horse
Gallop away,
playing make believe
while she quietly dies inside.

And you know what?

I don’t like you anymore.
