After Me
My body may be in this place,
But my mind is far away
Off in the land of solitude.
This place is like a poison to myself,
All it does is harm me the longer I stay in here.
I have no reason to be here
Other than to be with you,
But darling I must go now.
It breaks me to say but i must leave.
I wish to be a wolf,
So I can run far away from this place
But still have the sense of knowledge
To know my way back to you.
My love you know I must go,
But you need not to stay here either.
This place doesn't need us; we don't need it.
So come away, leave this all behind.
I can't stay in this place much longer,
So show me your love is stronger,
And come running after me.
But my mind is far away
Off in the land of solitude.
This place is like a poison to myself,
All it does is harm me the longer I stay in here.
I have no reason to be here
Other than to be with you,
But darling I must go now.
It breaks me to say but i must leave.
I wish to be a wolf,
So I can run far away from this place
But still have the sense of knowledge
To know my way back to you.
My love you know I must go,
But you need not to stay here either.
This place doesn't need us; we don't need it.
So come away, leave this all behind.
I can't stay in this place much longer,
So show me your love is stronger,
And come running after me.

I like some of the imagery you've conjured up. It avoids the usual vomit worthy sap that gets pumped in to my eyes. I think you could do with tightening a few of lines up, as they read a little messy at the moment.
