Hidden regrets

by Invisibly Awesome   Jul 3, 2020


Night after night comes knight after knight...
Both speeding past me in flashes...
Quite resembling my life...

On a futuristic knoble metal steed.
Looking at who my mind wants to see.
Instead of what is actually in front of me.
I always see the same face through the helm.

Reality always gets clouded with dreams.
And it turns everyday into a twisted Halloween.
Where every one of the knights,
Is wearing a mask of your face.
Giving me hope that our paths have re-crossed.
Yet every time a "you" rides by,
I am sadly wrong.

That I should be him and I...
This thought...
It will forever haunt me;
The decisions that I have made...
Victimized by my own demise...
Fear held me from obtaining my own leather armor.

So now,
Roaring rumbles from shiny metal steeds taunt me...
Echos of the past will not stop screaming...
Reliving moments, that will now, never exist...

    Lost love and regrets have a habit of permeating our lives. This piece likens bikers and motorcycles to knights on their steeds which reinforces the memories of someone who was previously her strength. Seeing his face in others represents how much she is haunted by the loss of him. The self blame of a decision gone wrong seems set to be there for the longhall. Its a piece that tugs at the heart strings. Milly x
