Like Superman
He would travel a long distance
His childhood years baring his greatest strength
that would become his Kryptonite
Being able to leap tall buildings in a single
bound, mere child's play, surviving his first kiss
real drama
Bullet proof was more his costume than his heart
Yet he wore it on his sleeve and was wounded
time and time again for it
More powerful was love racing through his heart than a speeding
Locomotive for when he fell in love it bored a tunnel
into it only to leave him broken
Face he would great perils and affairs once favorable
but flies no more as his kind is no longer needed
in a world that just stopped believing in love
Tragic but real and like Superman who always loved Lois Lane
He never got the girl of his dreams until, today
to be continued.......
