You run because you want to.
I run because I need to.
You snigger when I cry.
All I want to do is die.
You said you loved me once upon a time.
I loved you despite your crimes,
Against the law and against me,
I should never have given you my key.
Through all of this I love you still,
Maybe I deserved the threats to kill.
The truth is I knew too much,
Being held so tight within your clutch.
I'd seen enough,
To know this wasn't a knuckle scuff.
I knew you'd killed someone this time,
You knew that I knew of your crime.
I ran because I needed to.
You ran because you wanted to.
