I'm No Superhero

 

 

For a man who sees through everything

I couldn’t see your hand slipping

Moving down to your side

Wishing I was stronger

Than any man could be

 

My eyes may burn through steel

But I can't get through to you

I reach in like jesus walks on water

but your mind is my criptonite

I can not read you when I’m blind

 

she shakes her head

as her eyes drop

I watch her turn and the world stops

She’s walking away

I jump up and the earth shakes

But even with all my might

I couldn’t stop her heart from fighting

She leaves like superwoman flies

Killing me with her powerful goodbyes

 

I don’t want to be your superman

A hero is one thing

I’ve never been mistaken for

Call me all the names you desire

But don’t tell me I’m your spiderman

I can not live like that again

Very well done from a male perspective. There is a sad truth to your introspection, clever execution ~ I read it twice as I assumed "I" was female. ;-) I think they return the favor in kind, too!

I like your style. Enjoyable read.

a very intriguing subject matter and as suspected a wonderful poet. I enjoyed reading this piece :)

You are such a divine poet. You see things, too.
