sex criminal ~#2

i was accused
of being one of them
the horror of the modern world
signed my name
as a criminal
for believing i loved
as i would dream.
the law of the polititians
demands of me
i avoid the children
'cause i'm a threat
to the safety
of their innocence
'but it was not me!'
i protest.
i am an older man
and life's too hard
to cling to the one
i would have sought
they say i am crazy
but i can't believe
that these authorities
have the power over me
to change the beat of my heart
in an instant
i would take my life,
today.
but who may miss me?
i doubt any would grieve
for my love wasn't enough
to make a woman
happy?
