I Am Coward!

Hiding behind the mask, behind the cape, and the cowl,
Find that there is no Dark Knight as identity.
It is just a cowardly impersonator living odiously foul.
And one whose abilities, intellect, and strength might give connotation otherwise, in this epitaph, I elucidate how.

Stepped into the morning with you but never considered you stepping-stone.
Blame you not at all on your departure from this dark realm, better that you leave me alone.
In secret secrecy among those who know my secrets, I sing your name with naught but adoration and affection.
Vowed I would slay whomever might have wanted to cause you harm; the paradox is that he who harmed you was the one who was to give your heart, psyche, and body protection!

Writing now is solely on given talent by God because no longer will you grace this imagination with your power.
True as it is that my exploits, good or bad, be legendary, at this moment until the moment no longer exists,
I am coward!
