So she runs, with whispered memories and lingering shadows


Faster

Further

Continuously


Under no circumstances does she turn back, because the demons close in and she would fall to the depths of darkness


Faster

Further

Never Turning Back


Consuming a Life after another, hoping it will soothe and comfort her lonely and tortured soul


Faster

Further

More Broken


When will the demons be done with her? When will she learn that past always finds her?


Faster

Further

More determined to escape this time


She turns away from those that love her
When will the demons consume her finally she keeps praying they keep at bay
When will she realise hope lies with the hearts that protect her?


Faster

Further

Every step forward is only a step backwards


She keeps running because it is all that she knows how to do
And she never notices the broken hearts that die as she turns her back on them


Faster

Further

And as she leaves for the final time, she never notices as their friendship shatters with broken pieces killing the abandoned victims


She never realises she is leaving her family behind and little be known she destroys their hearts with her actions of separation


Abandoned

Deserted

Neglected of their own feelings


Written words of the heart that stays here as she watches as once again the tortured girl, running from a written past into an unknown future, the child she has watched grow in front of her and slowly begun to call her sister, the only other soul in the world that holds a rare piece of her heart, and here she stands the lonely heart as she watches as the tortured girl runs away from them and her demons that slay this land she once called home.

*
The heart asks


Where will you go?


And before she leaves she gives her reply


Anywhere but here


Never does she hear the heart break and the tortured girl never reveals her tears of pain and loneliness
