Fallen Hero

My heroes are real people I have met and were in my life for the most part. Hurts to loose them but that is life.

Mentor, guide, and confidant

When did life drag you down

Who caused all this hurt

When did stagnation replace vibrance

Your dismal outlook in life

Last I saw you I was looking up to you

Now roles reversed, you looking to me

What straw broke the camel's back

What twists of fate unraveled your spirit

Is there something I can do to help

I can't do it all but I can always try

Your wisdom put to good use

Taking the role of mentor now

Just speak, I will listen

Returning a kind favor in turn

While I don't need a hero anymore

I can't sit and watch my hero fall
