run close to me
slow,
slower,
because i can’t run any faster than this
run close to me
pull me on with a tether
run with me
these roads are dark and empty
if i fall
if i fall even once
know that i might break
run with me
let our rhythm flow
let our hearts beat in unison
like a metronome of a beating pulse
thundering, echoing,
like it’s always about to rain
run close to me
i can’t run any faster than this
i can’t run any slower than this
run
run for me
until we finally rest
until the race is over.
