Nowhere

August 1, 2014

You try to run
But there's nowhere to go
Steps moving forwards
Steps moving backwards
Steps moving nowhere at all

Frozen in time
Stuck in space
Legs don't move
Heart doesn't race
Time Stopped
Heart Stopped
Thoughts fuzzy
Head blurry
Nowhere to go

Run away
Where no one will find you
But no one will come looking
No one to care
No one to lose
No one to save you
The last is gone

You are
Replaced
Like broken glass
Shards so sharp
They cut and leave their mark
But not deep enough
To leave a scar
Not strong enough to stay
Not brave enough to be remembered
Not worth keeping

Nowhere to go, but you're gone
Nowhere to escape, but you're missing
Nowhere to breathe, and you're dying
