If you love me you must
Understand me! Not know
Me or like me for in my
Most sane moments, that
Is when really my madness
Manifests.

Especially as I wrap my
Arms around you – let this
Be a warning: I mean to
Never let go.

You say: “I am scary,
You like me so much
But I am scary.” I
Know this, but remember…
If you love me?

If you love me you must
Understand me! Not like
You do a friend or foe
But in the way you lust
To understand yourself.
For that is how valuable
I must be to you

Especially when I turn
My back on you – let this
Be a warning: I mean to
Have you follow.
You say: “If you leave
I’m letting you.” I know this,
But remember…
If you love me?

If you love me you must
Understand me! Think
Drought-rain; hunger-food;
Your humanity-mine for I
Don’t often seek to
Understand first; I am
So bratty.

Especially when I scream
And shout – let this be
A warning: I mean to
Have you calm me.

You say: “You should
Really stop, I’m not
Going anywhere.” I don’t
Know this now, because
Remember… when you did
Not love me?
