    I'm not the hero

    "I'm not the hero"
    Binded in these chains
    My heart aches with pain
    Touched as a sacrifice
    Hallowed be thy name
    Scarred beyond repair
    My friends just sit and stare
    My body in a bed
    Do you really care?
    I'm not the hero
    Not a fallen angel
    I cannot take yor pain away
    Right now i'm just not able
    This is not a fairy tale
    A childrens rhyme or fable
    I'm hooked up with machines
    To keep my body stable
    If only i could rise
    Wipe the tears from your cheek
    Emotions shown with actions
    There is no need to speak
    You wipe the sweat, from my face
    I feel your hand, it's warm embrace
    Your heart held in its rightful place...
    My heart fills with dread
    I can see the light ahead...
    But your heart is worn
    My emotions torn
    Return to love
    Or ascend above?...
    I've made my decision
    Just need a shove
    I can hear the beeping
    Your voice is pleading
    I take a deep breath
    You thought i was leaving?!
    I scream out your name
    You kiss me so deep
    I open my eyes no longer asleep
    I'll be your hero once more
    And return to your heart
    With the knowledge embedded
    Death itself, can't tear us apart

    Awesome poem...love the fairytale, rhyme, fable line...and the contradiction at the end...

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
