Feel it now, I touch the tender flesh that's crammed between my tea stained bones. My legs are throbbing, from running in circles, trying to stay on your tail. But the flesh was stripping from my bones with every sprint I took. Veins throbbing, I felt like crumbling. I saw nothing but your shadow then, taunting me as you danced backwards away from me, your crescent smile left the only moon illuminating my dark. It was faint and fast, gone leaving me in an oblivion of nothing. Feel it now, I touch the tender flesh that's crammed between my tea stained bones. Shin splints. Painful with every step I attempt to take, eventually my muscles will heal, sure, Yet I'm still out of breath. Yet my heart is still racing. Yet I can't seem to catch a break.

Splints
Feel it now, I touch the tender flesh that's crammed between my tea stained bones. My legs are throbbing, from running in circles, trying to stay on your tail. But the flesh was stripping from my bones with every sprint I took. Veins throbbing, I felt like crumbling. I saw nothing but your shadow then, taunting me as you danced backwards away from me, your crescent smile left the only moon illuminating my dark. It was faint and fast, gone leaving me in an oblivion of nothing. Feel it now, I touch the tender flesh that's crammed between my tea stained bones. Shin splints. Painful with every step I attempt to take, eventually my muscles will heal, sure, Yet I'm still out of breath. Yet my heart is still racing. Yet I can't seem to catch a break.
