I've Wanted To Leave This Life Since Forever Poem by Mark Heathcote

I've wanted to leave this life, since-forever
I've been wilting since my mother
Brought me home out of wedlock
And hid me in a dungeon in a seller
Placed me in an attic; starlit-dark.

I've wanted to leave this life, since-forever
But yet I've learned to survive
And cherish each cursed day,
As though, I was especially blest
As though, I wore a crown of blooded thorns too.

I've wanted to leave this life, since-forever
And now we're here soul to soul darling
It all makes perfect sense, I've never been alone
Because like a shadow,
You've followed me every step of the way.

I've wanted to leave this life, since-forever
But you control the breaks
You control my destiny
I truly know, now it was kismet
That eventually you came-my-way.
