Superman

"Being deeply loved by someone

gives you strength,

while loving someone deeply

gives you courage."

Lao Tzu

I could never say
goodbye to you,
For where in the world would I go
But all up in my self-destruction,
Among who should, but mean no good,
Abducted by my understanding,
Praying you come rescue me,
My Superman
Zero to sixty
holding power in your hands
I laughed at me
You needed no defense mechanism,
or my smartass 3-part plan, only the Reason to make the
Tough decision,
Love is enough
What, with all these smiling, ordinary psychopaths
driving us stark raving mad

Sometimes I dream of better days
the Why they insist to illude us,
My impatience turns to rudeness,
Because I grow so doggone weary
of my own twisted humanity,
I've just got to let you know, my sweet,
I hide my feelings,
and post up with an attitude
when gratitude should show,
You know the fear and the hate,
All the ignorance that I escaped
It isn't me, divine or true,
and when it hurts,
You use the power given you,
A divine laser
of decency and order,
and I get lost in the chestnut eyes
of a mild mannered latte reporter,
The hero I trusted melted the ice to
See right through,
No I couldn't ever leave,
I could never say goodbye to you,
and from the even beat
of my healing heart,
I love you more than ever,
True
