Run, run, run

by @d-simpson

Run, run, run, you're gunna run, run, run away. Cold feet, frozen stiff, frightened of the rising sun. Thawed out a bit, and now you're on the run. Silver tongue talking to a golden dawn. At the first ray of light I'm starting to see you turn a cold shoulder, burn a bridge and flee. Too cool for comfort. Too cool to say what you feel. If I want indifference, I'd go try to flirt with steel. Closed-off woman doing too much you never quite learned how to open your heart. Love came by, and you'd rather depart. I'm no hunter and you're not some kind of prey. You choose your fate and make the bed you lay. Elusive enigma, sly little minx. Dark eyed coquette do as you please. I hope you know: YOU'RE SUCH A GODDAMN TEASE. I'm not bragging. There's magic in the things I make so either get cooking or steal somebody else's cake. All my life been putting in work. I see hungry eyes looking back at me. Look all you want. There's no taste for free. Run, run, run, you're gunna run, run, run away.
