the tears drip clear
as he looks in the mirror
⁂⁂⁂
the boy he once was
is fading into shadows
doesn't matter what he does
no matters of his powers
⁂⁂⁂
each tear is a tear in his mask
and his mask is going to be a whole sheet
he doesn't want to be weak; is that too much to ask?
he'll fix it; he won't miss a beat
⁂⁂⁂
hands shaking
everyone's waiting
⁂⁂⁂
please don't fade out on me
A/N: sorry i haven't been on lately; my summer's been busy.
