Ghost of the past

Leaves falling,

Breath swirling,

The cold air strikes my nose,

I keep running,

Animals watching,

Heart thumping,

I push away the hitting branches,

I keep running,

Feet hitting,

Legs lifting,

I have to get away,

I keep running,

Eyes searching,

Wind blowing,

I stop to breathe,

Then I keep running,

Twigs snapping,

Body aking,

Suddenly i see her,

I keep running,

She beckons me to stop,

My body listens,

Confused my questions start,

"What do you want from me?"

She simply shakes her head,

"You can not run from the past", she whispers,

"Who are you?" I barely blurt out,

"Dont you see?" she whispers again,

"I am the child you once were."
