Superman Poem by Maya Reid

Hey, Superman,
Can you come here for a minute?
I wanna ask you something
See, it’s been eating at me for a while now
And I’ve decided to just ask you
Cuz it doesn’t make sense to me
And, frankly, I wanna know
I wanna know
Why
What power is it
That you have over me
That can make me go
From hugging you
To hating you
To making excuses for you
To forgiving you
To not being mad at all
To loving you all over again
To missing you
To missing you terribly
To being scared
To being mad all over again
But still missing you like crazy
To laughing at our hilarious memories
To crying cuz they’re not enough
To making plans for how we’re gonna change it
To risking my neck to call you
To melting at the sound of your voice
And forgetting everything after the hug
Superman, you gotta tell me
Just how do you do it?
Eh, you ain’t gonna tell me no way, are you?
You’ll just smile and say you ‘don’t know’
Oh well…
Cuz I may not be Lois Lane
But I still come to you when I’m in pain
And you just might not be Clark Kent
But every day with you is a day well spent
So, Superman
With your bony arms and delicate hands
I need you to do one more thing for me, ’kay?
Just tell me your kryptonite so I can keep it away.
