The Protagonist Ducking, dodging, running, and hiding: Every stranger's a potential danger Fight or flight become one with every leap whether across sidewalk or cobbled street The dead are laid to rest But for the living liberty becomes a battle To not jest with revenge towards strangers' mockeries Yet neither accept their violence To best attacks with equal force Then continue the course onward from this hellhole The Black Knight When peace was needed most, You all drew swords; me and mine We already lived through fruitless, lackluster seasons – Winters scoffing at men's errors, summers of seclusion With only prayers for company – did you believe We'd join your delusions, disillusioned with disillusionment The Protagonist With memories of ideals tasted yet with hope deterred I defer to my pockets' contraband: a diamond ring and homely photo Hidden all this time. My lack is heavy-laden But being guilt-ridden is riddance Even still, the passing gallows are a dreadful reminder Of years wasted, with no bosom to satiate thirst The Black Knight Crashing through vacant building walls doused in kerosene: Isn't it a miracle we survived despite our many doubts The Protagonist Because I once was told how we never deserved a good wife Only because I defended and rebelled against disorder A day later, the ring was placed in my hand So what now?! how long ago Yet my undeservingness is still a dollar short The Black Knight Such are the thoughts of those at sidewalk ends Stepping into green pastures, with unkempt grass And rivers and forests ahead, with harmony Amidst the midnight's crickets and frog ribbets God's creation sings of peace While mankind's city growls of disease But the breeze collapses us to our knees As if to say trauma, lack, and wasted time is far behind The Protagonist But why is tranquility so short-lived With grass-stained knees we hear indiscernible echoes As if familiar, a ghastly presence, a reminder that Wives and peace will never be deserved The Black Knight A shadow falls over the forest and across us How can this be? Its light is pale luminescence Much like the Pale Horse, a devouring mother Seen scourging soldiers on distant sands Despite fear, your tenacity surprises me The Protagonist Not this time: you won't destroy us The Black Knight With a cavern to our backs, its light fluid and otherworldly In the shadow of this colossus, the mountain disappears Then reappears, barefooted and floating, A frail and harmless phantom But I know better: such ghosts come for rings of power Life but a wargame amusing their false regency Usurpers of kingdoms and dignity The Ghost I come for what's mine And hell I bring with me to its knees The Black Knight Its body shutters, hurling us backward Adrenaline surge: the battle is a blur Outclassed, our every maneuver a hammer To destroy the strong, but to it – a tickle The Ghost What a drag… growing old The Protagonist It screeches as armor falls with one strike I see you, my friend, exposed in bloodied shock The Ghost What puzzles you? the nature of my game The Protagonist Crashing to our faces, the cave's mouth is before us The Ghost You were raised better than this defiance Such deserves hellfire The Black Knight These are the words of tyrants, But I recognize the oldest wound The Protagonist Weren't you supposed to have unconditional love? If this is the last time you see me Before burning in an eternal lake of fire What would you have to say The Black Knight What cruelty! yet one final blow hurtles us Past the threshold, with two simple words The Ghost Good riddance The Black Knight We fall and writhe, accelerating through space and time And for what? A game of control The reclaiming of their dignity at others' expense The question of if love was real If we have damned ourselves The Protagonist We've just resisted a devil Who wears my mother's face
