flawless and brave.

Your glistening perfection,

blurred by a waxy cover

innocence shielded my sight

dream world formed.

Downgraded to sidekick,

Less brave, more flaws.

Halls echoed screams

leaving walls of confusion.

Hungry flames melted

my shield, my world.

Nobody wants you.

I stopped needing you,

baby birds learn to fly,

I got shoved out

rough connection with the ground,

shattering the uncharred pieces

like they were bones.

I’m not a little kid

neither are you,

stop playing tag

I’ll never run back.

Truth is I’m glad I fell

scraped my knees.

Not a chess game,

I was just your pawn.

Find a new one?

Did you already?

Does she call you superman?

That’s more than you deserve.

You were my superman,

flawless and brave.

Your glistening perfection,

blurred by a waxy cover

innocence shielded my sight

dream world formed.

Downgraded to sidekick,

Less brave, more flaws.

Halls echoed screams

leaving walls of confusion.

Hungry flames melted

my shield, my world.

Nobody wants you.

I stopped needing you,

baby birds learn to fly,

I got shoved out

rough connection with the ground,

shattering the uncharred pieces

like they were bones.

I’m not a little kid

neither are you,

stop playing tag

I’ll never run back.

Truth is I’m glad I fell

scraped my knees.

Not a chess game,

I was just your pawn.

Find a new one?

Did you already?

Does she call you superman?

That’s more than you deserve.
