I can be your hero

I’d keep my promise

I can be your hero

but I won’t be

most suitable for

your heart

I’ll fuck things up

you’ll hate waiting

get frustrated with my masking

end up eventually leaving

never speaking to me again

even if you said you wouldn’t

I’d put that fake smile

letting you go

if that is what you wished

But even after

I’d keep my promise

to keep you safe

to be there

no matter what

to make sure

you are okay

I’ll still be your hero

even if you

don’t know
