You see this secret side of me
Something I was never meant to be

With you I tried so hard to save this sacred place
But never getting there is my disgrace

Sometimes I feel like you’re watching me move
In and out but always and never to soothe

I wish I were lazy enough to do what I want
But alas I can never catch the ‘punt’

Syllabus to dexterous minus the outstanding wit
Equals my life with you and why I have this need to quit

A simple spot
On the dot

Hoity-toity
Love me never

Can’t give up
Don’t give a ****

Who you are
Or how far

Crazy duck
Tiny ****

Big cats
Last naps

Women floor
Who’s the *****?

Music to me
Death to bees

Can’t tell
Got mail?

Fall through grass
Nice ***

How to tell
Dude, it’s a Dell

Apple time
Tile grime

Falling faster
Lonely *******

Stop the flow?
You stubbed your toe

Going around.  Wasting my time but in a way that I don’t mind at all.
Should you care that I care?
                Would it matter at all that I see this look on your face and in your eyes?
                It baffles me in a puzzle-like way, which you hate.
                 ***** feelings.
                That’s what she said.

You see I go anywhere
Desperate for an answer yet
If I could stop to stare
Yet I feel it falling this net

To be all that I am and more
But no matter I can’t get
Past this swing hinged door
It locks out every piece and bit

My soul to you and only if
I could ever see me fit
To be only me and not rip
The hinges off this door for me
Where I stand and grace your hips

Against mine they fall to be
A clear, conscious part of me

When I think of that night
I have a sour taste in my mouth
You want me here and there but I can only take so much
I can only be here and only take so many punches
BUT
Sweetheart I’m no Superman

I wish I was invincible so we could be together
Maybe it’s best that we aren’t
I wish that I could fight like you do
BUT
Sweetheart I’m no Superman

You say you care and you say you love
But I can’t see past your wall of mistrust
You want me to be a hero but that’s a wall I can’t get through
BECAUSE
Sweetheart I’m no Superman

I’ve dealt and stayed for as long as I could
This can’t be the end for us
I don’t want to say this and I can’t believe I am
BUT
Sweetheart I’m no Superman

I’m loved and wanted now, needed
Cared for and let in to help like I should
I wanted you so bad
BUT NOW
Sweetheart, I’m her Superman

That’s all it took.
Just a heartbeat.
Words can make or break and she made
Everything
Smiling to no end
Can’t help but fall deeper into this chasm of love.

But hey love makes us do crazy things.
I will happily do this.
For me?
Yes.

— The End —
