Running
The words she needs to hear
are not said
the silence between them remains unbroken
She tried hard not to cry
He looks away pretending he doesn't care
Words are not spoken
she turns and runs
Run away from the pain
from the hurt
from him
She doesn't want this pain
she loves him
He loves her
Running
trees flying past
his voice calling her back
she ignores him and keeps on running
Running
His footsteps echoing through the forest
Running after her
Blood
That's all she can see
that's all she can taste
Sirens
wailing in the dark night
her open eyes
staring at the stars in the night sky
Unblinking eyes
staring into the darkness
His eyes watering horribly
wishing he hadn't done what he did
He drops the stick he lashed at her with
He runs
Running
runs from the police
runs from the sight of his girlfriend dead
Runs from the guilt of his actions
Blood
her blood all over his hands
his face
the sound of the stick
hitting her head
the blood spilling from the open wound
the sound of her body hitting the ground
The sound of his crying
echoing in the dark forest night
