Unbreakable

I can't feel the cold of the winter
…or in the restlessness in your voice
The January chill sends no shivers down my spine

I wear long pants in the summer
…and a great big cowboy hat…
My alabaster skin is impervious to your amorous glow

I cannot be cut by razors or glass…
…I cannot be fazed by your glances so crass…
I will never perish, nor drop to a knee…
…An Unbreakable soulman is all I can be…

Hugs can't confine me…
…I can't feel their love…
I take pans from the oven without any gloves…
Kisses are worthless…
…I'd rather feel nothing…
For at least feeling nothing, I'd know nothing was there…

I wonder if this is how Superman felt…
Despite all the powers had on his Earth…
…he was doomed to be alone…
Forced to see everyone he loved die,
Forced to realize he couldn't save everyone…
…no matter how hard he tried

But I have no powers…
I have no shared pain that can be ours.
I'm unbreakable…
…and it makes me impossible to be yours.
