This Knight

Dream on, fair maiden, your bosom heaves as you sleep and dream your dreams. I’ve been watching and protecting you for a lifetime now, it seems. This knight, I am, I stand and guard your entrance to your room. Fear not, sweet maiden, for I will try to one day be your groom. Then I will not stand so idly by and watch you while you sleep. For I will share this bed with you and offer my love, so deep. I would stay within the tower, I would suffer in pain for you. I would then break the bonds that hold just to show all my love, so true. So, dream on, fair maiden, through the night, dream of happiness, not of sorrow. I will be right here from now own and for every waking tomorrow.
