Incorrectly Titled, So Long my Love

I find myself running

Running away from the grip of life

Running to the place of rest

Beyond me.



I am not welcome on this earth

My presence makes people scorn

People see me as a beast, an outcast

A renegade.



People do not know me though

Except the ones that care.

I find it hard to love...

To love and never win.



To win someone's heart, and

Never let it go...

Is hard for me

For all I do is love.



To give a fuck about the world

To give a damn for others

My mind is being untwirrled

Much like so many others



But so you see

Before I go,

the one true me...

I love you,

And you love me.
