I Won't Ever Ask This But
some days i just
want to ask you
have you ever wanted
just to run
and keep running
until you can’t run
any more
until all you can hear
is the beating of your heart
double-time, erratic
until all you can do
is try not to choke
on the lungfuls of air
that you’re pulling
in
and if you run hard
enough and fast
enough maybe you can
forget everything else
so that all that matters
is the throbbing of your
head and the
pounding of your
feet
have you ever wanted
to run from
yourself
want to ask you
