Therefore I am

Somtimes all I really wanted
Was the assurance
Your assurance
That you would not run away
Run away tugging at my heart
The strings are loosening
Coming undone
And I'm unable
Helpless
To put it all back together
When I run
When I hide
When I pretend
It's all a sign
Showing you what I want
But not telling you
It's all I really want
You know I do
Why the ignorance
I read
Behind the fake glass
Below the squinty eyes
Above your towering head
Therefore I am.
