I found this poem under my bed recently and I realized it fit perfectly with a certain Justice League character. Five points to anyone who can guess who I'm thinking of.
I guess this would be written to one of the heroes by a civilian... well anyway, hope you like it. Read and review please.
The Hero's Heroine
Even though you are a hero, I am just a girl,
Walking on these city streets all while you run the world.
And though the people need some saving, could I just one time,
Be your heroine for today and save you from your mind.
The wind is harsh and I am human, carefully I tread,
Invincibility's not for me, but you've been blessed, I've read.
The whole world sees you as their savior, no one stops to ask,
But I'm concerned you hide yourself behind a vacant mask.
And even though you soar the skies while I am stuck in planes,
Disperse your molecules wicked fast, untouched by even rain.
You're heart's all but unshakable and everyone needs love,
If faith can part huge oceans, know you're guarded from above.
I see that you've been hurt and now you're soul is drenched in doubt,
And stress drowns you from every angle, strength can't plug the spout.
Beneath your fortress sent by gods are twigs that all could break, yet,
To everyone who can't repay, you place your life at stake.
I want to hold you, still I can't, place blame on those who loathe,
See loving you could mean the end of all you've grown to know.
How one man could bear the weight of legions in his hands,
And this is why you need some help, but help is what I can't.
These may be those who mock you and your bleak and lonely life,
Outside so calm, but little know the torture deep inside.
The only way to cope with pain, is just to brush aside,
I'd die to make you understand, 'cause I know how you try.
I've seen your orbs of blue shed tears they've tried so hard to free,
Your muscles may be big, but still I know your spirit's weak.
So though the people need some saving, could I just one time,
Be your heroine for today and save you from your mind.
