Analysis of Lover In Armor
A question unanswered,
a wish unfulfilled
A moment left fleeting,
to wander until
A maiden unmarried,
a tryst never made
A lover in armor,
a husband forbade
A day left to dwindle,
the twilight to roam
A promise indentured,
enslaved and alone
A question unanswered,
a wish unfulfilled
A moment left fleeting
—to wander until
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2020)
