Away From Me
I see you running away,
Startling white amidst the lush green,
Raven tresses flying with the wind.
My heart is weeping,
But no sound escapes.
Pure innocent white,
Now tainted red.
Forgive me, my love.
I didn't want to hurt you.
But I had to.
I was only protecting you.
Forgive me, my love,
For plunging the knife
While I was too weak
To plunge it too deep
But run, my love, run
While there is still time.
The monster within me has only just awoken,
Escape while he is still too weak.
Don't look back,
He might catch a glimpse of your pretty face.
Hasten,
Before he catches a whiff of your fragrance.
Your love and beauty
Will linger with me.
And like dew on a sunny morning
They will soon disappear.
Perhaps the memories of you
Will keep me alive.
But run, my love, run
And never come back
Because, hurt you, I will,
I cannot control the monster within
Hate me for the rest of your life
But be safe and live,
Live happily.
For it is only my trivial love
That paid the price of your freedom.
