Forever Superman

Forever Superman
You know you really took the very breath I breathe from me and...
I told you more than once no matter what I wont be your friend.
I sit up here atop these clouds avoiding your intense gaze...
knowing our time for love, our time for chance lives in our past days.

I watch you live your life and long so much to shroud and shield you...
but its no longer my place to lift you up and carry you through.
My vision is clear but this rain just makes it so hard to feel...
anything other than the cold spell that you cast on me.

I'm hardening into stone while hovering up in this grey sky...
the insides of my soul so empty now I know I can fly.
I aim for higher places in a world we both cannot see...
I know where both purpose and my position await me.

I inhale now feeling the air flood in then leak through my seams...
The sun comes up and dries my unshed tears with its heating beams.
I am refreshed , I come anew and my eyes are now watching...
I listen to all things, avoiding love and never touching.

I hover here awaiting reason to fly to someone's side...
I'll risk all that I have to save them even if it's my own life.
I see no difference amongst people of this small busy earth...
I'll fly to you but know I'll fly to him and I will fly to her.

My purpose known I don't have time to invest in my scarred heart...
I came a long way to find a place and time where I could restart.
I'm here for all and bring safety as well as motivation...
I'll do as I can to influence all to accept creation.

I hear your voice and feel your heart as it so strongly pulses for me...
I see your soul as clear as life, but it's your eyes that I fail to see.
All faces are the same and no longer can you affect me...
for I live among the stars far out of any romantic's reach.

My face is grim, my heart is hard, and my soul is bleeding sand...
but I'll fly away in haste towards need forever now your Superman.
