Hero

Everyone wants a hero,
Someone to save them,
Someone to lean on,
Someone to guide them.

Our heroes may not come,
In shining armor, 
Atop a trusty steed in reality.

It could be just a look,
In their eyes,
Something clicks, and you're amazed.
You're falling, tumbling,
Into the fathomless pool of his or her eyes
Male or female, it matters not.

You wonder how you'd survived,
How things would have been different,
Had you not found them.

Whether it's romantic love,
Or a friend's unbroken trust,
You see them as your hero,
In shining armor incapable of rust.
