My Shattered Hero.

by Daphne Darling   Nov 15, 2005


How can you help me?
How can you save me?
When you're the one in danger,
You’re lying shattered,

How can you protect me?
How can you defend me?
When you're the one cowering in fear,
You’re just a broken icon,

How can you dream?
How can you hope?
When you're the one losing,
You’re just living on illusions,

How can you continue to strive?
How can you continue to believe?
When you're the one stumbling,
You’re just clinging to broken pieces,

My shattered hero,
Fallen and broken,
Beaten and defeated,
Alone and grieving,

How can you smile along?
How can you act happy?
When I can see the tears leaking through,
You’re lies are seeping away,

You're my shattered hero,
You’ve fallen down,
You’ve been broken,
You’ve been beaten,
And you've bean defeated,

You're still standing,
Proud and tall,
So all I can say is,
Thank you shattered hero.
