Notes About The Poem

Entry for This or that VOL 32 Poetry Comtest Sponsor Edward Ibeh Theme : Runner 5/1/2

Runner



She runs like a horse, galloping in the night
She runs from relationships, quickly out of sight
She decides in her mind and away she goes
Running from what feels like a depth of throes
She runs before the loud gavel falls
that will bring her deep pain, breaking her walls
She runs to save herself and not burden another
She runs from actions with potential to smother
She knows it will still hurt, losing what has grown
A flowering companionship, loving affection shown
A runner, a fix, thinking she's protected  by her armor
Someday she will learn, he was more than a charmer
