She already knows about metaphors
She knows about cliffs and edges
About how much I loved all
She understood the wilderness I don't want tamed
Gets the fire kept for the hurt you have claimed
I'm a runner
Too broken to stay
I'm a hider
Too scared to play
Chase me around the pines
Find me in the dark
Through the eyes that glow beneath the stars
Catch me naked and touch me where I keep my scars
Then Maybe
Just Maybe
You would understand
Like she understood
Or know
Like she knows
Till that, I will run again
Catch another sunset myself
Find another edge, another cliff
Another metaphor
For when you ask me
Like she did
"Why a fox?"
I would say
Like I did
*"I Love Orange"
