I’m leaving you alone <br />Moving on, living on my own <br />No sympathy is needed <br />My heart was diseased, and it couldn’t be treated <br />The shadows are calling <br />I’m forced to start crawling <br />The dark skies are all I can see <br />Every time I took a step it felt like you were mocking me <br />I made the same mistake twice <br />Should’ve taken my friend’s advice <br />Tearing this S off my chest, I wasn’t a hero <br />Didn’t have a heart, but you divided it by zero <br />Great job, ya get a standing ovation <br />Tearing through my emotions without an explanation <br />The pain didn’t bother me ‘til just now <br />So stand up, and let everyone see you bow.<br /><br />Nicholas McKimmy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/faded-hero/
