Loving a Martyr
I have done it all for you
I have died
I have risen
I have killed
And I have healed
I have done it all for you
And yet, and yet,
In one moment of disaster
In one lifetime of horror
In one swift sting of death
I have failed you
And you forget all I have done
All the nightmares I have dreamed
For all of you
But now you have abandoned me
And so as I lay here
With blood pooling on the floor
Do you really love a martyr
More than a hero?

Notes: This was inspired by Usagi/Sailor Moon from the manga and anime Sailor Moon, but I suppose you could put it to almost any type of hero. Usagi/Sailor Moon dies multiple times in the series (both manga and anime), which I always found interesting. The whole concept of a hero is one that I've always felt was fun to explore.
