His eyes were like poetry
Smiling down on me
Like the rays of the sun on the Earth
It was born to consume
I’m drawn to his magnetic pull
As I failed to turn away
He begged me to stay
We played the game
I dance the dance
Moving me all over the place
Then it all went still
The sun set
It had its fill of the day
The moon wanted to play
The night awakening, his true nature
I could no longer see the future in front of me
Engulfed in the darkness,
There was no knight
And I was no damsel
No dragon to slay
I finally broke free
My feet planted back on Earth
I let go
To save me
