(n.) an overwhelming urge to run away

"the one who left"

If I ran away tonight,
Would you remember me?
Of how my eyes reflected the miseries of life,
And how my crinkled smile held picture-perfect anguish in the spotlight.
If I ran away tonight,
Would I be in your ever-awakened thoughts?
Of how I had loved the unknowingness of an ocean,
And how I, too, became one generous secret of life.
If I ran away tonight,
Would you forget the everlasting pain I gave you?
Of how your eyes lost their twinkle that very night,
And how all there was on my face was a vacant and tight gaze.
If I ran away tonight,
Would you move on?
Of how you would start a new life without me,
And how my face would just be a forgotten memory.
If I ran away tonight,
Can you omit the person I was?
I promise life would be a sound lullaby,
If the chord of my name wouldn't bring
vivid flashbacks of one lost souvenir we had once owned.
