Superman: A Poem

You can be strong, you can do no wrong
you can outrun a train
you can fly in the rain
you can withstand the bullets of hate
you can overcome your Kryptonian fate
but if you're without love
no nothing's the same
even being Superman
seems so lame.

Is Clark Kent really a disguise?
Who does Lois Lane see in her eyes?
Who you are?
Or what you do?
Who's her real hero
when the day is through?

You'd like to tell her
but you hesitate
wearing glasses for a mask
seems your fate.

Has she fallen for you
or fallen for a cape?
Does she love you for your heart
or your muscleman shape?

Oh Superman you may never know
but it's her touch and smile
that keeps you on the go
for those leaps and bounds
don't mean anything
if to the one you love
you're not everything.
