Running
I’m running
So I don’t remember the dream
So I don’t ache for my mom
To speed up
Til my lungs burn
To feel closer to my dad
Breathing
Until I remember me
To forget you
Or blame it on you
No one can catch me
I’m racing the dogs
Faster
Faster
Because my dog is dead
And I haven’t grieved him because I’ve been
Running
Faster
Get out
Of
My head
How long
Is too long
How far
will I have gone
Until it’s all gone
out of time
On the edge of the Earth
ready to fly
When will I grow wings?
When will it be my time?
Not yet
Please
I am so
Scared
to die
Savoring the air
on my tear stricken face
Is there a sky
in heaven
Do I have legs
In heaven
Please God
I promise
To keep feeling everything
until it hurts
Just keep me
For another sunrise
And please
Take care of my dog
