Running away

Thump thump thump
the sound of my feet
as i run across the woods
the familiar face i'll meet
heart is beating abnormally fast
oh this time, i wish it'd pass
thump thump thump

gasp gasp gasp
the sound of my breathing
as i stop to catch myself before i get too tired
to run from all this pain
oh dear god please help it to rain
gasp gasp gasp

scream scream scream
he's catching up, is this allowed?
keep on going legs, dont give up now
i hear the swishing of leaves
please little stars, if this is meant to be
shake me out of my dreams
scream scream scream

crash crash crash
i fall to the ground
sweaty and in tears
i have lost this game
i cannot beat my fears
the heaviness of my eye lashes
over come me and they close
as i wait for my next beating
crash crash crash

die die die
my insides and i
battle for the victory
i get the rope, tie it to the tree
slip my head inside
stand on the chair and cry
please let my sister live past seven
oh dear god, accept me into heaven
die die die
