Away From It All

The spark of excitement when you’re in my sight;

The need to talk to, please you, if I might;

The disappointment and sadness as you walk away,

 are feelings that do nothing to me but betray.

I hate you.

I hate you because I need you,

And that goes against everything I wanted to be,

Everything I was, the world I thought I could see.

I’m not supposed to need anyone else around,

But watching you from the clouds makes me realize how I crave knowing what it’s like to be on the ground.
