ChasHer

The way she runs

even from me

is like

she is chased-

either away or to be captured

but I haven’t moved one inch

yet she feels,

I’m on her heels

and somehow

she ends back here

where she began in my open arms and beating heart-

against hers against the world against all

Odds

Even

when she flees I don’t give chase

because I don’t know where it’ll take me

where it’ll take us

and neither does she

running blind

leads to more pain

because there’ll be a harder fall

we can’t brace for getting back up

won’t be as easy as just staying put

I offer her space because she’ll create it anyway

I’ll never understand why she never understood

why come to find out I’m more answer than obstacle of..

Coarse!

but she may be gone for too long

before she figures that out…

sorry, people move on

you weren’t the only one

lonely all along

I stood my ground

waiting

lonely

cold

I needed warmth

and you hadn’t come back yet

but give me the same respect

and don’t chase me

I found someone that stays

go ahead and stay in shape

run while I lay idle

and Warm from Closeness

not Cold

from Your Distance.
