my hero

My Hero

You used to be my hero
My knight in shining armour
Upon your trusty steed
Shielding me from evil
Sustaining my safety
Protecting me with love

Your wisdom I cherished
And nurtured in my mind
I thought you had vision
I believed you had strength
We intended to escape
To realise our dreams

Then the day dawned
Your armour was removed
From underneath emerged
A weak and feckless man
Lacking vision and strength
And the ability to love

At first I was enraged
By your knightly illusion
Now I feel only compassion
For I had the strength
To realise my own dream
And you  -
Are still alone
