Let me slip away
Between negligent fingers
Lies are decorated in elegance
Yet, impurity lingers.

Let me curl away
From touches made of hurt
Hands like shovels, digging deep
Inside of my dirt.

Let me run away
On callused, broken toes
Teetering on the tips of uncertainty,
Unsure of where to go.

I want to drift away
Like your crooked, wayward soul.
Leave me in this rusting cage,
With god, but all alone.

Watch me fade away
From harsh sunlight on my paint.
Not beautiful enough to capture your gaze,
I could never make you stay.

There you go again; so far, far away.

And here I stay;
Slipping,
Curling,
Running,
Drifting,
Fading away.
