Lingering
They fled,
They ran and those who stayed
Eventually were led away
Some gripped
Tight squeeze in belief
Faith a drink to be sipped
Some sank
Pulled under breathless
Trance like, as they drowned in relief
Pure for some
The sleep of the traitor
Logic betraying lust
While the runners run
The stayer's welcome the confusion
Perched on your shoulders--- knocking
Hoping u answer to say "hello, I miss you"

Lingering
They fled,
They ran and those who stayed
Eventually were led away
Some gripped
Tight squeeze in belief
Faith a drink to be sipped
Some sank
Pulled under breathless
Trance like, as they drowned in relief
Pure for some
The sleep of the traitor
Logic betraying lust
While the runners run
The stayer's welcome the confusion
Perched on your shoulders--- knocking
Hoping u answer to say "hello, I miss you"
