You keep running ahead I fall on my knees Leeches ******* my peace Keeping me here Feeling tiny blades Sticking into me You keep running ahead I sink in a swamp Devoured by self pity By countless failings Scratches cuts bumps Infected by mud You stare back Querying me Tears drip down As I wade towards you The pain unbearable I’ll never be with you

Leeches.
You keep running ahead I fall on my knees Leeches ******* my peace Keeping me here Feeling tiny blades Sticking into me You keep running ahead I sink in a swamp Devoured by self pity By countless failings Scratches cuts bumps Infected by mud You stare back Querying me Tears drip down As I wade towards you The pain unbearable I’ll never be with you
