The Green Lantern
I thought you meant to be,
 my own green lantern.
 Somebody who could always see,
 even in the darkest skies.
 I thought you were sent to save me,
 from my own hollowed mind,
 but now I see I wasn't the damsel,
 that you set out to find.
 
 I thought those wrapped up hearts,
 were a silent, secret message,
 intended to speak to me,
 to tell me that I was precious, 
 one a sparkling silver,
 the other a deep set blue.
 Turns out my eyes were tricked,
 by a deceiving rose colored hue.
 
 When you said you wanted to show me,
 all of your super heroes,
 the only things I could see,
 were your eyes. You were my hero.
 So keep on shining,
 on the darkest nights,
 while I keep aligning,
 words meant for you,
 in our sky.
