white knights and you

13 2 2
                                    

welcome to staying awake,
here pebbles trickle off the lakes
as the piano keys do
percussioning for the pianist's empty wake
praying for the people who
still got the rest of their lives to rue

the safforn ones always say
"it's all in your head"
just move on, out of the way,
and get up from your bed

potent white knights
navigate through these four walls
with clocks at aim-able heights,
purple sighs and unpicked calls

seeing and sensing
the presence of the pebbles still and stationery,
as all the trains pass by knowing that you're never ready

to put up a great fight
shuddering and shaking from the exacerpate after fright,
two sides
of the same coin
with tiny differences, almost aligned

amoviblé again,
all we do is sigh
and sit on our permanent seats
while the body – the mind eats

looking over at a cupboard of your own masks,
questioning again, "how long will this last?"
you are a blank canvas with one too many unpleasant scars
sentencing you to serve these miserable hours

(this is very obviously moon knight inspired, if you haven't watched it yet this is your sign to cause its a great show on disney+)
