She RunsA Poem by MaskedthoughtsShe runs through the darkness Black air pools around creating a silent abyss Her hair long and dark, fights in the air as she runs Her chest heaves; up
and down, up and down Breath panting, skin burning, sweat dripping. She's gone but she needs to be missed, Thump, thump, thump Her feet are smacking the ground Blood drips from her arms Where the branches strike out at her Mud covers her face She's running, she's
running She's gone, she's gone The wind whispers,
urging her on. Faster and faster her arms pump Her legs aching from her long strides She makes it to the cliffs edge The dark clouds shield the moon Getting rid of any sense of protection that she felt Down, down she looks Unsure of what she will find A howl roars behind her She feels hot breath on the back of her neck Her eyes tear, and she jumps off the cliff Down, down she goes Flailing through the air Her body is limp, she embraces the impact She can't see anything, she can only feel That's how it should be She's met by the ice cold substance She's alive, she's
alive, She sinks deeper and
deeper Her skin prickles, her lungs scream The cold is unbearable, her clothes weigh her down. She kicks, in what direction she doesn't know Up, up she goes She surfaces, her head thrusting out of the water Her mouth stretches open breathing in all the air she can The salt burns her nose, and makes her mouth raw She coughs and coughs She's losing hope,
losing hope She floats on her back to catch her breath Her eyes start to droop ready for sleep Then waves ripple around her Pushing her from side to side She starts to kick, to
kick Strong arms wrap around her hips Her jeans scratch her ice blue skin She's being pulled, being pulled. Her body is limp giving into whoever found her Her foot scrapes something sharp She feels the pain, hot and burning But she can't respond Blood gushes freely into the ice water She hears a deep voice swear She is pulled up out of the water and is pressed against A hard chest, a warm body She is being cradled Safe, protected She feels safe, feels
safe The man trips, on a log His shin ignites with pain But he can only focus on the girl He doesn't know who she is but he knows He has to have her, she belongs with him. They fall hitting the hard ground Together, together She opens her eyes for the first time since jumping Her crystal blue ones meet his smoldering grey ones Her hand reaches out She doesn't know why She caresses his face Her freezing hand is heated by his burning skin His lips capture hers Hot meets cold, The lost is found Their souls entwine in the night Bringing the stars out from hiding Revealing the moon Dripping with pale light They locked eyes once again Tanned skin, on pale skin Then it all comes back Like a film in their minds Flashes of each other Holding hands, stolen kisses Laughter in the rain On the run together They remember They found each other They don't know how They don't know why they know they are soul mates But with every bone in her wild body But with every vein in his passionate soul They know they found their home alas "Demetri"
she whispered, she whispered "Eva" he
said, he said Together again The star crossed lovers Live on The silence breaks, the howl returns Together they run into the night Hand in, hand Soul in soul They run, they run Off they go into Their own dysfunctional forever. © 2013 MaskedthoughtsAuthor's Note
