Run


 

With clouded vision we run

We run anywhere and everywhere

Without a care. We run

Together, our hands interlocked

Not even the rainiest of days could make us stop

But then the fog cleared

And we stopped running

One of us was always wandering off

To a place the other one could not see

Now we run again

But not with the same glee as before

“Where are you?”

Looking behind every open door

“I know you’re there”

Wondering if the other has another

Now you’re tired

You stop running

You take a “break”

And break you do

Into tiny pieces of yourself

Falling to the floor

But before you hit the ground

They come back around

Just in time to catch you

You wonder where they have been

But with clouded vision

You run again
