i run.

footsteps,
trailing behind,
never faltering, ever closing,
the past chasing the present into the future,
and so i run,
yet when i turn,
all i see are...

shadows,
dancing behind,
never leading, ever following,
the past haunting the present into the future,
and so i run,
yet when i shut my eyes,
i still hear...

laughter,
echoing behind,
never lessening, ever mocking,
the past taunting the present into the future,
and so i run,
even with my eyes close,
even till the sun blows.
