I’m Not A Hero
 

Don’t be sad

I won’t surrender,

I’m not a hero

I can’t pretend.

Unless the clouds

block my reason,

your pure heart

I will defend.
 

Mysterious soul

no story ending,

so strong belief;

no words can hide.

Take this loss

that cannot mend,

dissolve the thoughts

of foolish pride.
 

Seek absolution

like a promise,

re-posses

a once lost time.

No curtain call

a wind that ends,

a joke in silence;

rejecting time.
 

A pain you taught me

that’s inward holy,

protecting gently

project in mime.

I can’t afford

this insurrection,

don’t take my body

just drink my wine.
 

So become

a distant stranger,

a memory

passing by.

Anger shadowed;

softly spoken,

tormented smiles

release your eyes.
 

Don’t be mad

I’ve surrendered,

I’m not a hero

I told you so.

You know the clouds

have blocked my reason,

but your heart

I won’t let go.
 

Open up

fields of flowers,

realise

an innocent time.

For now the calm

won’t turn to thunder,

forsaken body

eternal mind.
