Runaways

He takes the knife and she takes the gun
They write their notes and then they both run
They write that there is no one to blame
for where they are and how it came
He ran to nowhere while she ran to be alone
Where they ran to, no one would have known
He was on the news as a missing child
No one saw his face so no one grabbed the
phone and dialed
She was listed missing a day after him
So far the search was hard and the clues
seemed very slim
The boy went into a shelter
and gave them a false name
Shortly after him the girl had
done the same
The two strangers meet and their photos
are on the news
They turn their heads to each other
and at that moment they both knew
They both checked out together
They walked on to a store
to buy them both a disguise
They had to make it seem like their
new look was not a lie
He died his hair blond
and she died hers red
The only question now was where
could they find a bed
They searched for a place to stay
They finally found a place to rest
The new shelter they had found
seemed like an empty nest
They woke up in the morning and there
they were again
This time talking on the news was
the girl's friend
She spoke of missing her
and not understanding why
She even said that she felt
like she wanted to die
The girl's face was filled with shock
She didn't know what to do
She already left her home
And now everyone knew
The boy's friend was up next
He said he felt the same
They were going to have a party and
they were going to see the game
And then he disappeared and
they didn't know what to think
But to his disappearance all the clues
were hard to link
The boy then asked the girl why
she ran away
There was a long pause before
her answer was selected
She finally spoke and she said she
felt neglected
The boy's response was the same
but apparently they were wrong
They really did have friends and
family all along
The girl put down her gun
and the boy put down the knife
They washed out the dye in their hair
and set off to return to their normal life
The next time they looked at the T.V.
They were both on the news telling
their story
They didn't understand why so many
people would care
It was just a stupid runaway
But they were not aware
that the last shelter they stayed in
was taken over by a guy from jail
It was empty and alone because he killed
all the people there and the boss
All the people worried because they thought
they were at a loss
The killer was going to kill them in their beds
Luckily the caught him out at night before
they had bullets in their heads
