Superhuman

Sometimes I watch your head rise with the cadence of my chest,
The subtle racing of my breath from nervousness, baby you still make me
Nervous with excitement and contentment to have someone like you
To wake up in a suspended state of imagination with, watching your skin
Stretch with every inhale, inked canvas warm under the touch of my freezing
Fingertip, shutters escape your mind, love electrifies your body, my sense of touch
Has never seemed so needing. Gentle strokes to feel your delicate exterior, exhale the
Worry into the air, grab my hand and put it to your chest, an aching in your breast
To have and feel and want to be needed, you know sometimes I look up to the sky,
Shedding tears and showcasing a smile, pointing to The Man who brought me to you,
On the path filled with dents, obstacles, sticks and stones never broke your bones,
But they fractured your spirit, not looking ahead, but looking down, I ran into you
Coming from the other side, bloody, battered and bruised, you washed my body,
Soothed my wounds and patched my heart, your smile so assuring, I knew I had
To repay the favor if given the chance. I know you're tired, drained until happiness
Runs dry, I'll dry your tears because you dried mine, I'll never forget what you did
For me, so I ask you to relax in my arms and give me the chance to show you that
You are worth more than your environment defines you as, a diamond so
Rare that only the one who comes around just as the light reflects off your brilliance
Will be able to see you under the dirt, dust you off and marvel at his priceless luck.
We sit together in a world we built forever under the sun, rays light up your beauty
Like a fiery explosion of love, you burn me with intensity, third degree, intensely warm
To me, I marvel at the perfection that is you, I'm still finding your pieces and gluing
Them back on, my mission in life to repay you for sparing my own, you could've flown
Away, but you stayed, why? All I ever want to do in life is to do for you what you did for
Me, I want to be the one to help wash your sorrows, the one who you can hold on to
When your nightmares plague your life, there may be no end in sight, but we go into
War hand in hand hoping to kill these demons together, love is stronger than evil
And so we are stronger as one than we are alone,
I am proof that your love can fix a human being, trust me, I won't let go of your hand,
Grab ahold and lay down your problems for us to work out one by one, then lay your body against
Mine when the job is done. My love for you is inextinguishable like a fire that refuses to die,
I want you to be mine. I want to be the one to make you happy when all is said and done,
You are the one, I want to comfort you at night, stare into your eyes with admiration,
I will never forget that I am the product of love from a Superhuman.
