Lois Lane

The hero
Is only a hero,
Is only a hero
For the heroin.

Saving it all,
Saving;
Savouring,
Saving everything, but
She can't save him.

Taking,
Taking his heart
Taking his mind,
Taking his eyes;
His eyes
Taken from the road:
He falls
For her, and
Astray.

Lying,
Lain,
Soul bent and buckled;
Lying straight
He lies as rails,
Still holding her on course;
Holding her
The vehicle
Of his once-dreams;
A vehicle with no load.

Pray now!
He prayed,
Praying
He prays for her.
The hero
As a hero
Prays,
Praying for his heroin.
Her
His heroin
His everything, and
She will
She will never pray for him.

The hero,
Only ever a hero for his heroin,
For her,
Savouring;
Saving,
She was everything,
But she could never have
Never have saved him.
