Forever My Hero

I saw you pull that perfect smile.
You took my hand
And held it a while.

I watched you stand proud and tall.
A hero in my eyes,
You were my all.

I heard you cry late at night
As I lay silent,
Just another fight.

I wept as he slowly broke your heart.
Shattered in pieces,
You were falling apart.

I tried to pull the gun away.
A shot through the air,
It was your last day.

I now stand at where you rest.
Praying things are better
With that weight off your chest.
