Run

My heart leaps from within
jumping to safety
upon the ground
flopping about wildly
in this cold and dusty place

I want nothing more
than to run away
from me

I keep expecting to wake
any moment
in a cold sweat,
and realize this is all a dream...
but there is no solace.

I crumble
in a heap
in the corner
shaking

And you sit
unblinking
as you gaze upon
your handiwork

Are you happy now...?
