There's a whisper I hear everytime I pass her house

it tells me to run, run straight backupthe path 

Past the barn, 

the little creek, 

the stump that was supposed to be removed last week

The hens, 

and cows, 

and the anderson’s house

And shake her. 

Shake her like tree till all her leaves gave way 

How could you walk away?

The way you held my hand, I knew we shared a heart

I don't understand, 

How, could you do that to us, 

rip us clean     apart 

I see the way you still watch me in the grocery store

I want to propose to you in the produce aisle, 

don’t you dare walk away. 

Don’t you dare walk away. 

I dare you walk after me 

I dare you to come for me 

I dare you to tell your mother you don’t care anymore

I dare you to love me the way you did before

I wish that I could run, 

Back to you. 

Past the stares, the raised eyebrows, and angry eyes

The loud mouths, 

huge doubts, 

and space in between us 

And slam into her, like the hand of God

You love me.

do you not?
