Knight in rusted armour

I love where you are headed with your ideas in this poem and think with a bit of clarity in some of your lines you can make this topic sound fresh and new. An example could be: Stanza 1 I often wonder what you'll do when he simply walks out on you. There is no question where I'll be; my rusted armor strapped to me. You'll never hear “I told you so” I’ll cradle you. I won’t let go. You might even consider breaking those lines into couplets like I did above. It says what you wanted to say with a bit of fresh verbiage and consistent rhyme and meter. This has a tendency to smooth the read so it flows better for the reader. The subject is one written about many times, and it is difficult to make it sound fresh and alive, but with a little polish and a lot of emotion, it can be done. I think your title is excellent. You just need to incorporate it more into your poem. Show us the wait, the biding of time until that day when you can be that knight who rescues her from all that pain. It CAN happen - MAKE us believe it! You've got all the stuff here to work it just right. I enjoyed this very much and look forward to coming back and reading this gain. Thank you. ~Pamela
