Spiderman

I may have strength, but I’m weak.

I want to save those I love, but I can’t.

I want to save the innocent, but I can’t.

I want to live a normal life, but villains keep coming.

A response to me, a response to my being.

Even you, my most precious jewel, shattered.

My dearest Gwen to whom I love, to whom I loved.

When you died, a part of me died.

I shall never see your blond hair again.

I will never hear that laugh, that silly giggle ever again.

I may never again feel warm hands against my mask that pierce through my persona.

So what should someone do, what should I do?

I fear being alone, I dread it, but I can’t, I just can’t.

If someone were to die again because my webs were an inch too short.

My reflexes a second too slow.

My heart, my heart just couldn’t take it.

My life should be solitary that’s that.

To my dearest Gwen my heart lies with you in the ground.

I live with you in the ground, I always will.

But the world needs me to atone for what my father’s done, for what I’ve done.

This isn’t goodbye, I’ll see you later.

There will be a challenge someday.

A challenge too great for me to face and on that day,

when rain washes over me and the light finally vanishes from my eyes,

at that moment, there won’t be any fear

because then I’ll return to you, to those arms.

Until that time I will continue and listen to your words

Hope and darkness.

Happiness and sadness.

I hold the potential to change fate.

To save the Gwens I couldn’t reach.

I know you would want that.

I know you would… want that.
