You told me your here,
to be the hero in my life,
the knight in shining armor,
that I never needed.

You smile at me,
not knowing the fate,
of this twisted game,
of love.

You think it'll all work out,
until the fights happen,
and the light in our eyes,
flash away.

You assume I'll stay,
even after all that's happened,
even though we both know,
it was never meant to be.

But,
in those final moments,
I say,
                                              "I don't need a hero,
                                     when our love cannot be saved."
