Superman Love

I loved you with an intensity so powerful it was superman love, An addiction so well sown that it fit me perfectly like my superman gloves, Each time you were in trouble and called out my name, I came to your rescue like Superman to Lois Lane , No matter what time day or night, I was your superman ready to protect you, ready to fight, I flew to your rescue to defend you against everything that threatened you, I protected you, defended you no matter what I had to do, When I had doubt I would quickly tuck it away underneath my gold belt, I was superman, I could take care of whatever you dealt, I was your superman love, and I was strong, I was the hero, who rescued you all day long, I had super human power, and I rescued you, I could never admit how you brought me to my knees and broke me in two, I was so busy flying to your rescue, That I lost sight of myself in you, Then one day I realized that my superman love was too good for you, After all you had done, and still continued to do, I realized that you didn’t want to be saved, It was only power over me that you craved, You lured me into thinking I was helping you, You made me think, you would actually change too, Instead you took off your mask, showed your true self as the villain, At that point I realized who you were and I was not willing, To be your superman, or rescue you anymore, So I quickly crushed you, and kicked you out of my superman door

I had to cheer when I read the last line, Heather! Seems like you spent too much time trying to save this person. Glad you "kicked" him "out of your superman door." True love is give and take.
