sometimes I forget

 because the world is full of kryptonite

that tries to zap you of all your strength
sometimes i forget you are not a superhero
who is invincible with an S branded on your chest

sometimes i forget you have heart wounds too
and need me to be that unselfish woman
who builds within her love a safe haven for your heart
where it cannot be harmed by the pollutants in the air
so that it can heal clean and then breeze free

sometimes i forget all you want to do is
come lay your head on my breasts
close your eyes and think of absolutely nothing
while i toy with your ear and stroke your back
without me uttering a single word

sometimes i forget you just need me to be sexy
allowing your body and mind to drink from the softness of my skin

yes, sometimes i forget all you want and need
is to be assured you are cherished and loved
