Rest.
You must be tired from all the
chasing,
and I am undeniably tired from trying
to outrun you,
only to have you
catch up with me and drag me
to the starting point -
to have me run -
all over again.
No, sweets, don’t hold me close to you tonight for
I’m packing my things
to find a cosy place,
distant
from the comfort of your warmth
to call my own.
And in that place I will not find myself crouching
in a corner
where my whispers are loud and
my screams so silent it becomes
defeaning.
So stop breaking the door down
demanding for answers to which
questions I have no capacity
to explain -
I have already figured my way
out.
