Shadow Knight

[cythenocturne]

Yeah, yeah. It doesn't rhyme. It's been a while since high-school english, okay?

Dance again with me, my Knight.
Treading the shadows of chances we never took
To the tune of words we’ve never said
Before the grave where love lies buried

I am a lie and a smile,
Laughter and heart’s blood both
Pour from the well of my soul.
In this bittersweet, unrealized dream

Words chosen with care, precious pearls,
Never touching on my sweet shame.
As true and false as the space between us,
You are the jewel in my crown of thorns.
