Description
you braided honeysuckle into my hair and kissed my nose and took the wheel,
letting miles and fields and forests dissolve in the haze of hot tarmac.

then we crashed into disaster, and i realized that we're not living
no, we're waiting:

for the day we'll soar high above this all
to a place where we don't need to run far (far) away.

with flowers in our hair, and desperation in our eyes,
we ran away into the night, feeling the chains fall away
( from our broken, broken shoulders )

i could feel your bones under my fingertips and i could feel your pain
as we left the only home we ever had, in favor of nothingness.

nothing would be worth it if i spent it with you,
but it would be worth nothing if you did not want to leave everything.

run away with me, into the night, as if we
were just actors upon a movie screen:

two star-crossed lovers, who abandoned their families,
to be with each other.

( and then in the end,
we'll crash, we'll burn, and it would
not have been worth it
at all.

everyone loves a good tragedy, who are we
to deny them? )
