Run, girl, run

I keep on looking, but nothing’s there
Running faster, chasing air.
The world keeps shifting as I flee
Breath runs short. I just want to be free.

The years go by, everything seems fine,
The seasons turn, flowers bloom in time.
The past should fade, be left behind
Run, girl, run - seek, don’t hide.

I catch a glimpse
He pulls her close, a kiss to her cheek,
So soft it settles where silence sleeps.

She rolls her eyes, pretends
As if he ever really pays her mind.
And yet, her smile remains.

His laughter fades as my next song begins
A new rhythm, but the same silence within.
They remind me of the future we never had.

Well… let’s talk about AI.

Petals fall
I catch them mid air,
Watching people move,
So slow, unaware.

I feel like I’m running through honey and glass
Life drags by, but I’m racing too fast.

Like I missed the beat and can’t find the rhythm
Just noise in my chest, just silence in the system.
Still, I find comfort within.

I laugh like glass catching light.
Not part of the dance, but warmed by the sight.

A bell rings in the distance
Soft, but sharp enough to catch.

My head is pulsing, my heart feels sore,
But I keep running
Looking forward,
Just once more.
