Run


Run away

so you don't see me.

Run away

cuz I won't give you my dirt.

You look deep into

my soul with

your searching gaze

and my insides scream

to get up and bolt.

I want to ditch because then

I don't have to show you

my darkest parts.

Shame overcomes as I

avoid your connecting eyes

that bore with relentless

concern into my affairs.

So I want to

Run away

just run away,

let me run away

to sew up my wounds alone.

If I run away I'll beat you

to the punch.

If I run first,

you won't have to later.

No matter how good it was,

it's not worth the heartbreak

thst comes when it ends.

So you wonder where I am?

I've run away,

So I don't hurt you

and you don't hurt me.
