Valiantman

Last night I dreamt you were a superhero—
saving lives while forgetting your own,
stomping on all the tiny monsters out there,
breaking apart
all the schemes
to ruin the big world...
a day in the life of a valiant man,
fighting injustice and taking a stand

But then
in the end
when you were done for the day
you came home
all alone
without a single man to call your own
and I was somewhere out there dancing
with a mask, too
but no powers

You picked up your cell phone
and sent me a text
"I'm so mad at you for doing this to me," you wrote
and as Ke$ha's "C'mon" played
I cried
Because I missed you more than I could have ever imagined.
