The Runner

Stuck in the thick that drags me under I struggle for breathes, grasping for the surface The runner appears beyond the drowned Do you see me? A sense of familiarity blankets my surroundings Yet it is shrouded with insecurity The runner stops to peer into the abyss Can you help me? I reach to where the moon and stars used to be Your conflicted face reduces to fear Only hesitating before fleeing Where are you going? I sink deeper than before As the runner abandons the gloom A stream of tears left next to your footsteps Why are you crying? Now I am consumed Now I am alone And now I am tired Why did you leave?
