That time I ran away

by @emma-tomat

The plague is running red now My heart is pit-pattering something fierce The storm is raging harder my lonely ship could sink I feel I have been defeated, rather than what actually transgressed There are so many things I could have said, but would you understand Dont throw those feelings around, with words Ive always dreaded My Apollo, My Muse, come to do as all gods do Punish the tempted, who stay strong for nay, is said to soothe What ever happened to Job, for staying steadfast to higher standards And then his lips placed judgment, into my enlightened ear Ive always had a likeness for you, you said without batting an eye yet we have other people we are promised too, you still increase with pride Ive always despised this confidence you have, with destroying others lives So many women have fallen, and so many have been tossed aside Oh foul morality, I do, I hold so true The warmth of your skin against mine, could tame even the coldest shrew Yet there I am in silence, turned away from your sight Of the man Ive idolized for centuries, wearing nothing but his smile
