A Superhero’s Lament
Well, here I am again, alone…As usual. I have defeated Brainiac and saved mankind from the ultimate destruction he would have caused, by re-releasing Zod. I have even survived Lex Luthor’s attempt to destroy me.
Victorious as I have been, in these two very difficult battles I should be happy, but instead of rejoicing, I am here… Alone, staring again at this monitor screen, trying to understand what I have just seen. By defeating Brianiac, both Lana and Chloe have both been release from their catatonic states, Kara has been freed from The Phantom Zone, and the current world order will continue to run without interference from alien forces. Why then am I not happy, filled with joy and pleasure, because of my victories, Instead, I am full of hurt, despair, remorse. Once again, I am all alone. Without the one I truly love. She’s gone, something about the world needing me more. The world can’t need me as much as I need her! That’s impossible.
I have loved her since the first time that I saw her, at the age of five. All my life I have cared for no one else. One thing I have come to know and understand through the years, is my own heart. I know without any shadow of a doubt, that no one beside Lana, will be able to fill the unimaginable void that is there, inside of me, now that she has gone.
Lois tried to console me, but to no avail. No one can ever take her place. No one. The way she would smile, her walk. The way she held my hand, called my name. The loving kisses we would share. There is no way that those and the thousand other things she meant to me could ever be replaced.
How do you pick up and move on? How do you forget the love of your life? It would be easier to forget to breathe or have ones own heart forget to beat.
Jor-El, I am here. I have done all that was asked of me. I have completed all the task, you set up for me. Where do go from here. All my training, all of my experiences and victories have left me with is a broken heart. Is there a crystal in the ruins of the fortress to heal the broken heart? Tell me father, I need to know! I don’t think that I can go on from here. Father, why did you send me to this planet. The way I am feeling right now, it would have been better that I perished on Krypton, than to experience this pain. The pain that can only come from the loss of the one you love.
I feel like I have been stabbed in the heart by a Kryptonite tiped knife. It’s burning, searing pain is more than I can handle. I feel like I need to run, to get away from all of this, but where can I go? It will follow me, the emptyness, loneliness and worthlessness. Yes, I have powers and abilities, but I would gladly give them up for one additional moment with Lana. Just to hold her in my arms, inhale the fragrance of her perfume just to look into her eyes one more time and then kiss her lips. I would gladly give up my whole existence for that.
So tell me, all wise Jor-El. Where do I go from here? What do I do to ease this pain? If I cannot be with her, than it would be better for me to have her completely erased from my mind. I need to know Jor-El, you see the Man of Steel is not capable of moving past this event in his life.
No answer, I didn’t think you would be able to help with this Jor-El.
Well, I’ve got to go. Where to you ask? I really have no idea. Somewhere, someplace, there has to be a spot in this Universe, where I can go. A place where I can hide from my own feelings. Wherever that place, I have to find it before my aching heart explodes.
But before I go, I want to say, “Lana, I love you and will always love you! Losing you was the worst thing that could have ever happened to me! My love, you were the reason, I kept going on and on. You were the reason, I could face each day with a smile. Every person I saved every disaster I prevented was because of my love for you and because of how proud of me you would be. But now it’s all gone now. It’s over.
I will go on and I am sure that I will survive all of this after all its my destiny. I only wish that for just one time, I could have it my way. Oh well for now, I am on the move. I’ve got to forget….Up, Up and Away!( There he goes, the Man of Steel, but as he goes one song goes through his head).
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe
The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumbling down
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows searching for light
Cold and alone no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
Always moving and going nowhere
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me, please
I'm searching though I don't succeed
For someone’s love there's a growing need
All is lost there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the brokenhearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking every day
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothings going to stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, maybe
Oh yeah
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed
What becomes of the broken hearted
