Steve Wood Poet Lyric

Run

I'm running
Running for my life-
Faster and faster I run
Because the killer has a knife

I keep running
Faster than him,I hope-
There he is again
Now he has a rope

He is still in my sight
No matter how fast I run-
I can see it in his hand
The killer now has a gun

The madness drives me crazy
The madness drives me insane-
There must be something I can do
To rid me of this pain

The killer is here
My life runs before my eyes-
As I see the flashes of my past
I realize, It's me that I despise

The face of the killer
It's that, that frightened me-
I should have known this
Because the killer, the killer is me

Caren Krutsinger January 17, 2019 at 11:38 PM I am wordless. I want to comment, but I am so wrapped up in the "poetical" way you have told this, wondering at the metaphoric way you have written this one. A marvel.
