I forgot to stop waiting
When I drowned in
The stormy waves
Of your silence.
Now my bones
float above the ocean
Still waiting for your
Presence
Hero
You called yourself a hero
Little do you know
You're the villain in my story
I'll stay in my room sobbing
Just waiting for you to attack
Not with weapons, No
But with just your words

So go ahead
Be the hero in everyone's story
One day I'll stop sobbing
Not because I'll get used to it
The pain of your words
But because I won't be there anymore
And I'll never come back
Not because I don't want to
But because there'd be nothing
To come back to

You asked what's wrong
I told you and you listened
Maybe that's the problem
You don't hear me....you just listen
But you won't have to listen to me anymore
And I won't be there to speak
So go ahead
Be the hero everyone knows and loves
I never wanted a hero
I just wanted to be heard.

— The End —
