A Heroes End

Tear stained

bloodshot

emerald green eyes

gaze into mine

so much pain

so much despair

so much older than their years

tear stained

bloodshot

emerald green eyes

pain filled

despair ridden

emerald green eyes

eyes of a hero

who's seen to much

eyes of a teen

who saved the world

eyes of a boy forced to grow-up to fast

eyes of a man who's lost their one true love

slayed by their own hand

to save a world of hypocrites and children

should have seen the shadows

behind emerald green eyes

too late now

his wrists are bloody

and lips are turning blue

so it ends the tale of a hero

slain by his own hand

emerald and crimson together again

till the end
