Thoughtful Living

Don’t break away from me,
leave like a frightened deer.
I understand your panicked
world, I sense your growing fear.

I was there as dark ones called,
to mock, reject, and stare.
I feared and cried with you,
I was the one who cared.

T’was not me that gave you fright
nor spoke hurtful words at you.
I left you not alone with pain
due to endless words untrue.

I have shared your saddness,
been lonely as you have felt.
Consider our shared feelings,
as with you I have dwelt.

Please don’t, not now reject,
as others have done to you.
You know I have not harmed,
I’m the one that’s been so true.

I am temporal, but I love you,
more than you know, or see,
I live only within your favor,
will you now, just now, love me.
