Runner

by @IsntSheLovel-y

Do you ever wish that you could disappear? Just grab your keys and get the hell out of here? I’m tired of this town and I’m sick of this place where on every single corner, all I see is your face. You’ve tattooed each block, landmark, and street with memories of us and what we used to be. It’s like walking through an abandoned graveyard, each store is a headstone memorializing my heart’s scars. My foot is heavy on the pedal in search of somewhere new, somewhere with a slate wiped clean of any traces of you.

I actually wrote this after my first boyfriend and I split up when I was sixteen. Just now posting it. Hope someone can maybe relate.
