Deadline

Closer and closer you came, but you still felt so far away, I didn't think I needed to worry. I dread you, you only want to bring me pain. You try to mask it for me with a facade of happiness, but I can see through it. Every step you take that brings you closer, only pushes me farther and farther away. I am running, but getting no where. I turn around and you are still there, haunting me, screaming my name. What is it that you want from me? It doesn't matter anyway, I am not willing to give this up for you. Can't you just go? Find someone else to play your silly mind games with? For a moment I thought you were gone, my worries were cast away, but as I look into the passenger side mirror, I get the biggest reminder of them all, I see you coming up from behind there to haunt me once again I guess the mirror doesn't lie, objects in the mirror are closer then they appear.
