21st-century lover

where’d you go 21st-century lover
dying to be a white knight in shining armor
subtle romance on a tv screen
love or lust in a midnight dream
tower the walls as they crumble down
wearing that rose-colored crown
go, go, go until you drown
that’s what you wanted, what you hoped for
eye on the cherry, mistaken for a fairy
what you need was a moment of clarity
subtle white knight in shining armor
filled with thoughts of being enamored
take it off, I tell myself
the rose-colored crown which belonged on the shelf
beauty, all I saw
rose-colored beauty
