Poem from poem book, "Superhero Lover"

Superhero Lover

Everything you promised me then, I want...

I yearn for you, my superhero kind of lover.

In case you didn't know by now, I'm all yours,

yours to save, yours to love, and yours to protect.

I don't ask for much nor am I a damsel in distress,

but you always save me from the losers and assholes

that only want my body and not the whole me.

I could have fallen for you then, but I

refuse to fall for anything and everything...

as I stand for something and someone that is special.

You never assumed my judgement as an evil wrong,

and you waited and waited for me to go to your arms,

and because of your patience, I'm eternally yours.

A star falls, and I wished for my version of

a superhero for a lover, yet my answer wasn't

immediately answered, but that answer came at the best

of timings in my life, when I was supposed to die

for a crime that I know I didn't commit at all.

Because of your love, I've changed completely

to become a much better person in my own life.

Now that our stars in the night sky are aligned,

You will always be "The One" for my heart,

and as we sit here in this bed together...

you simply are my superhero kind of lover.

This poem is for my Uncle Allen and his better half Karolyn.

Enjoy!
