A stern elegance

The castle in the distance

Seems so far away.

*

I reach out for you,

Looking for that forgiveness.

Take your hand in mine.

*

Silently we dream

If only there was a way

To escape what is.

*

Eternally chained,

By the pulling of a sword,

I cannot be here.

*

I fear I love you,

Dame Percival the bravest,

But how do I flee?

*

Queen Guinevere stands

Between us and our true love.

I hate betraying.

*

I hate the lying,

The great pain we must go through,

Just to see each other.

*

It started that day

Your amber eyes met my green.

I instantly fell.

*

We tried to ignore

All the feelings inside us.

But of course we failed.

*

I would run to you,

My head spinning in circles,

Love drunk and reckless.

*

Fear was swept away

Every time our lips met.

Nothing more perfect.

*

Sure, there was still guilt,

As we threw it all away,

Filling it with this.

*

At first it was lust,

But now it is so much more.

I fall to my knees.

*

They call me a King.

The leader of Camelot.

But I have failed them.

*

Still…it is worth it

Just to know that you love me

Despite what I've done.

Author's note:

I wrote this a month or two ago, but never ended up publishing it. I was looking through old stuff tonight, and stumbled upon this, so I decided I may as well put it up here. Hope you enjoyed!

…Why does all of my good inspiration have to come at 1:00 in the morning?!
