RUNAWAY

Loneliness, my cloak, flutters
As I run…faster than love
Out of its reach
I don’t see its arms…outstretched
Wanting to hold me

No…they do not exist
I do not want to be loved
I run…faster than feelings
I hide…where no emotions dare enter
Oblivion…is what I seek


Yet when I find my silence
And sit in its embrace
Picking at my wounds
A tear slowly trickles down my cheek
I wonder why…
