Run From Me Poem by Katerina Val

Like you can't see the curiosity beating behind your eye
Like I can't feel the anxiety of a need heating up your pace
Like I can't touch the sharpness sculpturing your frozen edges
Like I can't see that these cold edges invented warmness for me
Like I can't see
That this Is you

Running from me

This is you
Running from me

As if you fought against me
As if you fought against what you need
So why do you still need?
Why do you still breathe calmness
As if it was real?
Why do you inhale this sweet anxiety
As if you can't see
As if you've never seen
It was all invented from me

‘cause I know when time comes
It will be you
Running from me

You don't see, you can't see
Sometime you regret to see
That you cannot always firmly believe
What is not there to live
I need you need
Is not what we should seek
So don't invent things for me
‘cause when time is right
You'll run from me

I can see you firmly and indecisive in the heat
Running, running once again from me

Spinning round and round
Endeavor to keep the heat
to grab the heat with hands made of our beat
you violate belief
my belief
you should let me leave
be
instead of trying to warm up the deadly frozen heart
run before you burn
try before you bend

try to run, run away from me

but you won't make it, like you can't see
that you won't make it
like I don't know I cannot breathe
like you can't feel this
you can't run from me
