"Found" Spidey Haiku: Entry #9

It seemed so simple
When I was alone on the
Rooftops.  Now I see.

If I love Gwen then
I've got to level with her -
Tell her who I am.

Who am I kidding?
Too late to explain.  Too late
For anything!  Nuts!

She means more to me
Than anything else in this
Entire crazy world.

I can no more stop
Being Spider-Man than I
Can stop breathing air.

She sees me but this
Isn't the way I wanted
It - that look, her eyes.

If I don't get there
In time then I'll have lost her
This time forever

She's gone.  I've lost her.
So I've lost everything.
The girl that I love.

Tortured by sorrow
And doubt, the beautiful Gwen
Can't understand why

How can she know that
Spider-Man and her boyfriend
Are the same person?

She thinks I don't love
Her.  She thinks I wanted out.
Yet she'll never know...
