running from the light
it's only you & me
everything's alright
it's how its supposed to be

running from the light
into the in-between
are you feeling fine,
or do you need some sleep

swollen eyes
and tears that run into rivers

running from the light
i've taken everything
& thrown it to the side
forgotten what it means

i walked into your light
it knocked me to the ground
i opened up my mouth
but couldn't make a sound

stinging lungs
a chest that feels like a sinking ship
