Screaming in the night, a dark and desperate plight,
The Man of Steel, to Batman brings a fearful flight
His friend is sick, he's so scared and so sad,
To the clinic they fly, for the test that's so bad.
Await the results, with a heavy heart,
The dread of the unknown, tearing them apart
The news is grim, a fateful disease,
The Dark Knight has AIDS, no more can he flee.
Tears of sorrow, a silent cry,
For the Caped Crusader, no more can he try
The pain of the truth, like a punch in the gut,
The Man of Steel can only put out an angry grunt.
A heavy burden he must now bear,
He swore to protect, his friend with care
They must endure, a living hell,
The grief and sorrow, no one can tell.
The Man of Steel will never give up,
The Batman he will never stop
His friend he will always protect,
No matter the cost, a promise he will not forget.
