Hero

Who hurt you so?
That it was me you fell for
Of all people, You
You could’ve loved someone more

Your caresses never lingered on me
I did warn you so
Your trail could never mark my body
Were teeth any match for stone?

I picked you with quite some care
For pleasure, and for not much more
Before you, you, after you
All trivial, you must have known

I never so much as touched that door
One you slammed shut to be sure
Your doing is yours to suffer
Not as if I could give you more

Go on, go find a nice manic pixie
A deserving liege for your bow
I’m in love with my inferno
It has no place for your hero
