I ran
Hard, fast
             away...
I ran until
breath was gone
Bending over
Head between legs
Sharp pain in my side
                                               still
I did not run enough
I cannot run
                       f   a     r
enough
He is still there
Inside my mind
                            I cannot escape him
black eyes
dark hair

His scent clings to me
So I run again
Maybe this time
This time I can
                               e  s  c  a  p  e
*him
Hard to escape what is in your mind...
