corners

In the corner of my eye

there is a shadow..

of something I dont

want to see

your face

looking at me

Why cant you just

go away

run far and fast

leave me

and the past

in the dust

never trust

your face again

looking over shoulders

isnt my plan

but walking and talking

is harder

when

you cant be sure

that surprises dont lurk

around every corner

I am not afraid

but beautiful and strong

so I dont worry

if you linger too long

looking at me again

what do you see

but here I am

and its my place

so this is where I

will be.
