and we became older girls
with bracelets and necklaces
pink went to black
mary janes went to boots
and you were still in love with superman
you wanted charm and grace and strength
you got a thug
you got a rapist
you got the bad guy, whoever the bad guy in superman is
you said you were happy
i knew you were lying
but i was jealous
at least you could lie
you could lie that it was consentual
you could lie about how you loved him
you could lie about how he was superman
when we were little girls,
you loved superman
when we were older girls,
you lost superman
