Superman

This is really the end,

for you and him.

My heart aches for you.

 

I'm sorry and scared but I really can't say a word.

I don't want to make it worse.

I just want to help you heal,

but I know there's not much I can do.

It really just comes down to you.

 

I hope you can be happy,

and that you don't feel like I'm leaving you

behind but some pains, just can't be mine.

 

I've tried to save you just as much as I can,

but there are only so many times that I can be

your superman.

It hurts me to say

but it's not my job to take on all of your pain.

I'm sorry it hurts,

but my heart is just too heavy.

 

We knew this day would come,

where we had both had enough,

just please remember that I love you,

and need to see a glimpse of you in my life,

It's okay.

 

Sometimes I wish the six years had been a dream,

so you wouldn't have to feel the pain,

but I can't take it away this time,

You have to be your own Superman.
