Running Away From You. - 1. Chapter 1
My heart aches,
my brain shakes with the effort to keep moving.
Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot,
maybe the next step with help me forget,
this one? Please?
Professing my love to someone,
it’s hard enough to admit to myself,
let alone anyone else.
Being shot down,
humiliated.
I know you’re laughing behind my back,
I read too much into everything,
miss read your words,
expressions,
I thought I heard your love,
I thought you felt the same way,
I thought you were different.
When I looked at myself in that mirror,
I understood why,
words and glimpses flash in my head,
cruel insults in my voice,
piece by piece the mirror shatters to the floor,
taunting me,
each sliver screaming out at me.
Slipping out of the house,
quiet as a mouse.
Thoughts running wild,
my legs match my mind in speed,
running anywhere,
just away from where I once felt safe.
