Told me to run

When the world is fear
and the sky is dark,
just as the shadows like, 
we turn to each other.
I turn to you
and you tell me to run. 
You tell me to run till running isn't an option no more
so I pick up my feet
and flee and 
run run run
because you once told me to run
and I never stopped running.

  • Separation

    Why does the rain 
    tap on the window
    when you can't feel it?
    Why will it remind you of 
    the dew drops dancing on the grass blades in early spring,
    of August's ocean breeze spraying saltwater in your hair, 

  • Empty

    The person is empty 
    the person with no identity 
    the one with no personality 
    Who doesn't now what yesterday was like or the day before
    Know one seems to know this person anymore 
  • Understanding

    Somewhere in my past
    a sunny snow day haunts me
    the serenity 
    Feels too cliche 
    to enjoy
    I remember the glances out of the window
    on a day that finally feels like spring 
    because winter can be long and dark
