Just Understand

No -
I don't.
Want sympathy, empathy...
Just listen to me.

With full awareness
And a joyful willingness
I made my decisions
To live a life of separation
Where you were my centre of attention.
So if I am too attached
Just understand.

I promise to be with you, be a part
Of every joy and sorrow in our path -
But there are times when
I feel a sense
Of desperation
I want to run
Take a sprint -
But then I am back
Pulled into reality stat.

My reality with you
Is what I'll always choose.
But if sometimes I glance
Out the window - my stare blank
Just understand.
Don't worry
Just understand
Me.
