Run Run
the shadows run down and around
drowning past faded tears and cumulated fears
If I hide here I can buy myself time

Tip toe
and take my place
clench my fists and hide my face
Drenched this place with his carious crooked stench

Click clack
slip of the buckle
wrapped tight around his knuckles
Hopefully this time he won’t see me cringe

Whip, splash
It’s almost over
Please please please sober
up from this mental encasement
Take one more breath and hold it tight

Drip, drop
Dry of emotions
above my head my spirit will be floating
Away I shall go and never return

Run, Run
He’s not looking now
shh quiet to not make a sudden sound
Wrap my things in a blanket and be on my way

Kiss, Kiss
Mommy know that I’ll always love you
Clear through the fog I’m almost closer to you
I picked these flowers fresh from your garden

Back, Back
It was only my imagination
Yet one day I still will have faith in
The light that shines beyond this corner
