Superman
May I call you superman?
For you see right though me
My skin and bones as clear as a window pane
My organs only but decorations to that which you see so clear
Naked I stand before you
Fully clothed from head to toes
But you see me like no one before
My heart flutters at the thought
That someone can see it as if on display
My emotions are the notes to the music it plays
Man beyond any other
A stranger an alien to my world
Please don’t leave me here all alone
To only wonder where you came from and will you come back
Without you I fear my heart will turn to stone
