When your hero falls from grace
all fairy tales are uncovered,
Myths exposed and pain magnified
the greatest pain discovered.

You thought me to be strong but I’m
confused to see you so weak,
You said never to give up and it
hurts to see you welcome defeat.

When your hero falls so do the
stars and so does the
perception of tomorrow,
Without my hero, there is only
me alone to deal with my sorrow.

Your love ceases to work and your
soul is not happy at all
What are you expected to do
when your only hero falls.
