Running
originally did not have a title
Memories
Singing
Crying in my mind
of another time and place
When you were by my side
Interwoven
Our spirits mingled
Sometimes as one.
Erased
Gone from my life
Like the flip of a switch
Some cold impartial hand
Mighty and strong
Deciding the fate of you and I
Without feeling
Flipping that switch
Throwing us into darkness
Affecting one and all.
Fear
We scream
Words escape our lips
Damaging
Ripping into our hearts
And as tears fall from our eyes
And life giving blood drips from our hearts
We deny our confusion
Our pain
So no one can see
No one can know
A part of us dies
As we give up
What we need and love
Rather than face the demons.
Fear.
