He

I won't apologize

For running away from you

I almost

Want you to hate me

For leaving you alone

I want you to see

What I want for you

To grow

To learn

To know

What it's like to be free

I'm free now

In his arms

And not in yours

He listens 

He hears

He keeps my heart at peace

He doesn't ask much

He doesn't try to force me

What I'm not willing to give

He hears 

What I try to say

He listens

To what I want to say

He is my escape

From you

From everything you are

I am at peace

Because He

Is not you.
