Run

By Dragonfly

He's coming
She knows
His footsteps
Meeting her heart


Creak...





Thump....





Bump...





A Humming Jay's wings
Carrying her away.



Another pill



Just one more



Numb the fucking pain
And wash it down the drain



Merrily it goes away

Far away

As her mind goes when she is with him



His hand in her hair, pulling

She runs away...



Far away...


To a place of childhood
Back when pulling her hair meant he liked her
Back when his mean habits were early signs of love
They lied to her



Now she still believes that lie


Broken dreams


Broken bones


Bruises on her skin

She will never win
All she can do is run



Far away


Learn to fight another day
For now



Just pass the joint



Share the needle


The pain


The loss


Unrequited love


Unrequited lust



Run

Bitch

Run

To your dreams of love
It is never enough

Until you lose again
