Favorite
"What's your favorite..."
There's so much to learn from someone's favorite anything
Color, movie, song, hero
The darkness in what you love brings to light the darkness in yourself,
the truth you want to hide and would rather pretend isn't there.
Sweeping secrets safely under the stairs can only hide them for so long.
I don't ask for your secrets, just for a glimpse,
to see who you are and who you can be.
You loved batman,
one of my favorite memories of you was a first.
I thought it a cute quirk until i dug a little deeper.
You felt so rejected from everyone else,
a hero in your own eyes but a threat to others, no matter how much good you'd try to do it was only harm.
I fell for the man under the mask,
only to realize all I ever saw was the mask you'd put on depending on who was around.
You always thought yourself the victim so you could never see how many chips and cracks you were causing me.
Now i'm broken and putting my pieces together while I still tell others
"He wasn't that bad, he changed from who I knew, and to this day he is still my favorite."
So, what does that say about me?
