the tracker

I knew you'd turn away
       because everyone
else has,
         and this world
is filled only with carbon
copies---
         half like me
         and---
         half like you
(Half to be hurt--
      Half to hurt)
      So go your own way--
like your half always does--
         but remember:
my heart's in your knapsack
run softly, and please--
  leave no footprints
          to follow...
