My Athena

My Athena,
Wanted a love like the movies,
One that pampered her,
and made her the princess of a kingdom,
only the movie sets could provide.
She wanted everything in the alternate universe,
and dumped all her expectations,
On me.

I never complained,
Because I loved her, from my heart,
And she broke it, into pieces,
Like her favorite sport.

She stayed in the fantasies,
Obsessed with perfection,
Looked at me,
Like I was supposed to be,
Without flaws,
Every single time,
Maybe because,
The cameras didn’t magnify my smile,
Or my expressions,
And she didn’t care,
That she was hurting me,
When all I ever did,
Was love her.

I was real,
I loved her,
In all the ways,
That my heart knew how.
I admit,
I would never be,
like the men she saw on screen,
Because I was me,
A plain human.

I adored her,
To the point,
That the society,
Thought me foolish.
I fulfilled every wish,
All she had of me,
Even those that hurt me,
I made them real,
But in the end,
She chose to leave me,
For he that had more like her,
To choose from.
Maybe,
She found happiness,
Just maybe.
