Never Coming Back


Inspired by the word works of amy herrera I see you, strong, commanding; staring endlessly, never for even a second; I feel you, you are intimidating; passion bleeds from you, I come to you; you hesitate, opportunity missed, disappointed, you try to stand again; ready, my eyes are on you, second chance, you hesitate; glance around, see who is watching, hang your head, mumble in despair; odds against you, planted to the ground, lock on to me, your last chance; give me all you got, here I am, head right out, beyond forever; you don't care, just keep running, only look back, to make sure I'm gone; in your sight, for a moment longer, hoping you would ask me to stay; you pray , don't change my path, you wish for me, you wish to love me; but then, you know I'm never coming back.
