Misunderstood
MISUNDERSTOOD- by David Lustrup 2017
theres a forcefield around me
built by family and freinds
but its not solid yet,
and sometimes you get in
like wolves waiting for the fawn
to be away from its mother
if i wander, they close in
nipping stinging bites
endless tearfilled nights
someday youll see what you did
on some distant later date
i reacted with pure forgiveness
you thought id retaliate
you labeled me without thinking
not being in the know
you thought that i was someone else
you thought you had to go
so fly now lovely girl
god knows how much i tried
ill be here when the grass isnt greener
on the other side
to let you go learn this
the hardest thing to do
just know that when you left
you took my heart with you
and when the dawn breaks
and you see what youve done
ill be right here with open arms
with love bright as the sun
for you......
