Seeking Solace

4

I want you to kiss the pain away

whisper that you love me

as you pull me in

But we don't have time

I place my hand on yours

just for a moment

terrified of detection

you run your fingers over mine

and I know we can't keep this up

I always have

I want us to run

you asked me to

but I'm too weighed down

too trusted

I want to be greedy

to abandon them

but I know the difference

between what is the right choice

and what is the right thing to do
