Superman by Brandi Randolph

Baby, are you my superman?
​In tight pants and a cape. Flying high above the urban neighborhoods showing the little children
"They can be superheros too"
Will you come to my rescue time and time again?
​Can you use your Superman strength and envelope me in your arms?
​Mr. Save the World, answer my questions.

Love, how long will you be away this time?
Cupping my tear stricken face in his hands, he sighs, "I don't know."
​Who will you battle this time?
A fictional character, the government or police brutality?
​Tell me something solid, something real. For the nights when your half way around the world Superman?
"I love you" he says. Deeply and sincerely , I feel it
​My heart's beating overtime as he pulls me close, kisses my forehead, my smile, and smelling my hair.
​"I love you too Superman."
He smiles at me and prepared for flight.
​Up, up and away. Away from me.

King, saving the world is so important
But, I'm important too, right?
​I think. Because I don't know. Tell me, am I ever second place?
​So, I need you to hold me, and tell me
But your off
​Saving the world
​One day, at a time
