Can't Run Away

by wellthoughtoutwords   Aug 17, 2006


Jump in your car.
Start the ignition.
Go somewhere.
Anywhere.
Just go.
Drive fast.
Don't stop.
Don't let up.
Keep going.
You have to keep going.

Blast you're music.
Really loud.
Drown out everything.
Especially her.
Drown her out.
Turn it up.
You can still here her.
Push the pedal to the floor.
You're not going fast enough.

Shit.
Out of gas.
No money.
Middle of nowhere.
Get out of the car.
Run.
Run.
Run.
Keep moving.
Can't stop.
Won't stop.
It hurts.
Legs feeling week.
Lungs grabbing for air.
Getting tired.
Can't go any further.
Must stop.
Collapse.
Alone again.
With her.
She taunts you.
She mocks you.
She is you.
She never shuts up.
She's in your head.
You can't drown her out.
You can't run away...

Because you can't run away from yourself.
