Nothing can hurt me,
I’m impervious to the attacks
Walking on any street
Not worrying about being
Attacked or beat
Bring it on I think
Man or woman
I can use jiu-jitsu
Borrowed from Him
To turn it around
Not afraid from
Assault from
Right or left
No need to worry
Says me
And then it happened
From a friendly face
Kryptonite was found
In what I trusted
Instantly I sensed
My weakening
In an instant
It was too late
I thought I could
Fight the power
Of the Kryptonite
I deceived only
Myself
Or was I
Deceived
Perhaps I was willing
To surrender
To fall down
And die
To stay near to
Kryptonite
That instantly became
Dear
My heart reached
And grabbed for
What would hurt me
What would kill me
But I could not stop
Desiring to be close
To Kryptonite
No fool like
An old fool
No cure for
Kryptonite
And even if
There were
I wouldn’t take it
Kryptonite is within me now
Forever
Never to be
Released
I would rather live
With the pain
Then be healed
Forever Kryptonite
Lives within my heart
My very soul
Sweet, sweet Kryptonite
Oh Dear Sweet Kryptonite
You’ve changed my blood
My heart now beats
A different rhythm
Dear Kryptonite
Till my last gasp,
I can see you
Till my last breath
You are with me
Though in reality
You left
Long ago
