The midnight was so cloudy and dark
There are no stars, no moon in the skies
I was really shy, quiet and happy
That midnight, I felt like a bird of paradise,
Because you were taking away the pain
Of my tired body, like a midnight rain.

I was the briar rose nearest of your mind
You made my shyness with a loving touch
I melted into you because you are so kind
That midnight, I was losing control too much,
Because you were taking away the pain
Of my tired body, like a midnight rain.

I was sleeping, wakened by your sound
You’re good looking, I was too awkward
After a bit, I was unfolded on the ground
That’s a pleasure for a romantic courtyard
Because you were taking away the pain
Of my tired body, like a midnight rain.

Strung up and gutted to oft how I feel
Tired of waiting
Wishing that door would open
Pacing recklessly
I've read all the magazines
Readers Digest had some good jokes
The others here
Staring dead eyed
It's been over 46 years
Why does it take so long
The walls are nice I suppose
Ever expanding
Any minute now
She's going to open that door
"Mr Bell? Death will see you now."

I am a knight.

Not the dark from an evening sky.
Not a warrior wrapped in steel.
More like the chess piece.

My movements? Impractical.
My purpose? Undetermined.
And I'll probably die early.

How comforting.

My accomplice.
My comrade.
My kryptonite.

Make sure to bury me with my horse.
And contort our lifeless bodies into an L
So we can finally embrace what held us back.
