Hero Turned Villain


She's 18, a nursing student, one of the best, not to mention the prettiest and most popular in school and facuty..Her teacher says,"Compose a poem about your parents."
Then ask them to write a reaction relating to it. This is what she came up with.






Late night snacks
Didn’t notice the cracks
Driving through town
With the windows rolled down
You were my refuge
Amidst a deluge
Of delirious delusion
Clouding my reason
A hero, you used to be
But that was before you left me.

You lie, you cheat
You wallow in deceit
Your image, tainted
The pain has not abated
It kills me to see her suffer
I intercede; glad to be her buffer
Has your conscience taken flight?
You seem to have lost your sight
A hero, you used to be
Why did you leave me?
