Runaway
Prose and Poem {A collection of love, despair, tragedy and more} Part II
And If I runaway, who will look after you?
who will protect you?
who will rescue you?
I know you're exhausted
And if I give up on you,
How will you survive?
The bleeding didn't stop the demons,
The crying didn't stop the demons,
I prayed and I cried
My heart squeezed every time
Forced blood out of my mouth
Everyday feels like walking closer to needles
prickling my insides
Digging deep and deep and deeper
There is no place to stay anymore
To call home
I've been running
Longing
To find one
To rescue myself
I wait outside the door
suffocating as i continue to listen
The demons don't stop
are you doing okay inside?
I don't call for your name
the demons would come after me
you want to protect me
I want to protect myself
So I wait outside
The days feel like eternity
It's all so musky
I cut my finger first
To feel the misery
You locked me in the room
So he doesn't reach me
take me into the world
you were forced
It's a rollercoaster
The space
The one families take their kids to
Click pictures as they get wet from water, scream from the darkness
I was screaming too
The sweat splashed like water
Standing up was never an option
Not for you
Not for me
So i sat here
Hours passed by
I moved my eyes for the first time
The ashy sky resembled your face
The imperfect lines beneath the surface of stars
Like the scars in your haunted gaze
The white foam out of your mouth
was what i imagined peace
you finally found yours
and i will
once i join you.
End.
