She sits in silence each day, patiently.
When the sun divides the land from the sky,
I know it is time to rise and depart.
Everyday, she plays alone quietly.
I go to school, meet friends, talk, and do work.
She lies in bed, staring out the window
everyday, alert, guards alone bravely.

She’s my silent knight, loyal companion.

She welcomes me back home each day, brightly.
I come back tired out, greetings are brief.
She’s shoved to the side, affection ignored.
Everyday, she follows me silently.
I go do homework, check Facebook, and rest.
She jumps into bed, snuggles against me
everyday at night, watching sleeplessly.

She’s my silent knight, loyal companion
without complaints, without expectations.

She’s my silent knight, loyal companion.
