No, my love
Don't you join me
Stay in the world
Of smashing reds
And striking blues
Of color and hope
For those
Who aren't
Like
Me.
I removed myself
From your
Faithfully ignorant
Side
Because it is
Not I who must
Live in this
World
But you, my dear
You belong here.
I'm not in smashing
Striking
Pain
Now.
Don't you see?
Please.
Just let me be.
