Hideaway Home

I spot the tunnel
tis is not bright
alas a runnel
it's in my sight
fear of runners
in the park
leery of gunners
after dark
Mobsters Ball
it is a panic
the bathroom stall
a hustler manic
now I'll close in
nowhere to hide
a rat's den
no tears have dried
something disguised
what can that be
yellow eyes
staring at me
I can't afford 
to be frenzied
there is a board
I'll ward off the envied
now I will run
back to my dome
monster I did stun
my hideaway home

I would say that sometimes it feels good to run back to our comfort zone; out there things are not always what they seem! ~ Regards // paul

Thank you, Silent One. When I originally started out I had something a little different in mind but I liked the way it came out :)

I like how the short lines create a staccato beat to the feel, dark and mysterious!
