Even Superman

Superman fell asleep on the bed
He didn't hear anything Lois Lane said
And that was that he was her lover, her only
So he went to sleep, and Lois felt lonely
She wanted to cry for no reason at all
Once she got started, the tears had to fall
The secret, for now, was just hers to keep
Because even Superman has to sleep

Suddenly, somebody took her away
While Superman did nothing but lay
Buried so very deep in his dreams
But even unconscious, he heard Lois scream
He had to find out, just what was wrong
But when he awoke, poor Lois was gone
He had to do something, she couldn't be far
He finally found her, but the sight broke his heart

Because there she was, barely alive
Lying on the ground, next to a knife
No one around, they had left her to die
Superman had nothing to do but cry
He held her in his arms, inches from death
She whispered 'I love you' with her final breath
He sat there for hours, his love in his arms
He had sworn he would always protect her from harm
And yet here she lay, her heart never beating
The rain falling down, the world proceeding
Because even Superman feels pain
From falling in love with Lois Lane.
