Superhero

I painted a superhero
But that wasn't what you wanted to be
But I needed a superhero
And you were simply amazing to me.

So I lost my superhero
You just didn't want to conquer all
Sometimes its not about forgiveness
Maybe buildings are just too tall.

In my cape wearing fantasies,
I forgot you had human flaws.
Perhaps I counted on the impossible
I thought we could get through all.

I honestly thought just telling you
You'd have the power to make it go away
My delusion again of supernatural powers
I wish I wasn't this way.

So I lost my superhero
Because you say you aren't right for me.
But for all my faults and screwups
A capeless you meant so much to me.

But then maybe you really are a superhero
In minutes you were able to move on
I guess I was alone in the wreakage
Now I have to deal with what was done.
