Runaway
A bright spark
Glistening of the sun
Over the horizon
Is the chance
Tightly holding onto memories
You jump
Looking back
Seeing your past
Running, running
Farther, far away
Weary
Emptiness
Closing over your heart
A single tear
Falling softly
Is it you?
Standing
Turning
Stopping
Then tilting upwards
I will stay
Simple words
Hurts you, cuts you
Choose
Holding a small trinket
A small piece of memory
It smiles, nods
Continue
Flowing river
Abandoned boat
Bending down
Writing
Sweetheart is the name
Scratched words
A shiver
You sit
Holding your memory
Hugging
Loving
Why did you leave?
Remembering
Sun rising once more
Glistening as always
And you walk forward, alone
Shouts
Callings
I need my loved one
Back
Stepping back
You think
Hurting them
Them, who you are close to
Sideways glance
At the loved ones
Sorrow
Yet you walk onward
Hours
Days
Months…
Years
Then upon a single step
A touch
Someone sees
You
Saying
I saw life
In that soul
But in shatters
Music
Listens
You shroud away
From the light
This is your life
What you choose
Is your decision
Will you traipse forth?
Setting sun
Lies you entwined in
Haunts you, bites you
My runaway
