run faster, my little runaway
I spilled my pride on cracked linoleum.
You left me surrounded by drops of blood.
Dead center.
Black eclipse.
And you fled.
I poked and prodded these bent
and broken pieces into my lifelines-
they were all I had, my constant-
while you watched. Acceptance,
resignation, pity, indifference.
I saw it all and you fled.
You told me I was good and capable
and perfect but always managed
to slip away, back to safety,
before trying to convince me.
You fled.
