A Hero?
I wanted you
 to understand
 the thing we had
 would never mend
 
 It happened fast
 it happened slow
 until finally implodded on
 you and me
 can’t you see
 that we were never meant
  to start again
 
 You had that smile
 born in an ageless time
 where only you could understand
 It showed it’s face 
 once again
 until only then
 could I see 
 the venom 
 behind 
 
 I couldn’t see
 the simple
 fact
 behind a portal
 lay a landscape full
 of mortals
 dying in battle
 
 I wanted you
 to understand
 the thing we had
 would never mend
 
 I screamed at you
 the face made of glass
 to stop being the hero
 of the masses
 
 But you never listened
 
 You never listened
 
 I wanted you
 to understand
 the thing we had
 would never mend
 
 The sword and shield
 had consumed
 you, the hero
