Lover In Armor

A question unanswered,
a wish unfulfilled

A moment left fleeting,
to wander until

A maiden unmarried,
a tryst never made

A lover in armor,
a husband forbade

A day left to dwindle,
the twilight to roam

A promise indentured,
enslaved and alone

A question unanswered,
a wish unfulfilled

A moment left fleeting
—to wander until
