I once thought you could save me
from a world of harm
Witnessed you swoop in
Time and time again
You were there
With ease
No cape
Just a comforting smile
but…
In the end
When it mattered the most
When I needed you
the most
When I screamed and
kicked and
cried for you to
See me
Hear me
Help me
Help us
You watched silently
from your high perch as
your ego dismember and devour me
“Saving” me was never about me
It was always the convenience of ego
Your silent villainess hero
No cape
Just a mirage of safety
In your smile
