Short and Sweet

on the run

A very random, very short poem I wrote yesterday.

smile because it's over
the day is done
no one can hurt you
we're not on the run

the sun is gone
the moon is out
your head on my shoulder
I plan tomorrow's route

we've been hunted for three days
it feels like forever
we like to pretend
everything is normal

not all is gone
not all is lost
we have each other
and that's enough

but that's not the truth
and we both know it
you never wanted this
you don't deserve this

I cry for my mother
I cry for my father
you sit and watch
your dearest brother

hours turn to days
weeks turn to months
they're still on the hunt
we cannot give up

the end draws near
I feel it now
just know this, my dear,
love does not wear out

don't you forget
the times that we had
the good and the bad
oh please don't be sad

leave me and run
don't look
run, dear sister

run
