Knight in Shining Armour

I hide myself away
Like a knight in shining armour
Except this armour is heavy
And it hurts
Or at least it hides my hurt
Because the real me
Is unfunny
Is boring
Is vulnerable
And most probably
Is a coward
So I lock him up
Under an armour of falsehood
Under a smile of sadness
Under a laugh of darkness
But sometimes I forget
That this armour isn't me
That this smile isn't real
And this life isn't mine
Because everyone around me does
Everyone, but you.

Your touch it breaks away the metal
It falls like tears at 3 am
Slow, silent, not meant to be seen
And like an eye coming from darkness to light
I flinch
I stagger
And I pull away,
But you hold on
And I fall right in.

I don't need to be your knight in shining armour.
I just need to be yours.
Forever.
