Drifting away as his mind would be

a blissful drowning.
I've become willing to risk hitting a shelf
Some people wonder how I do it,
Why I wait for this man.
Because Im proud of what he does,
I love him because I can.
There is something about superheroes,Of which I am very keen.They wear silly outfitsAnd there faces are never seen. But not even Superman Can compare to my marine.A true hero,A fighting machine. The villain on love Came to steel me away,But there
Dear Mr. Marine,
I'm praying for your safety,
Don't fill my worst of fears.
Even though I am strong,
there's a river-perpetual tears.
Love,
Your daughter
