Trees, trees, trees, branches, sticks, leaves,

Whipping, gashing, slashing at my arms.

I can't get away no matter how fast I run,

Tripping, falling, crawling on the floor.

Ragged cuts, tattered clothes, jagged breathing as I start to slow.

My eyes are heavy, my vision blurred,

Distant images start to stir.

He's right behind me, he's catching up I have to keep moving but my legs have had enough.

Getting dizzy about to pass out, a distant figure starts to stand out,

A distant scream, a whispered plea, I can't believe it came from me.

Pulse is racing, a feeling of hands, a gentle hush as I'm helped to stand It's him, he's caught me,

please strength don't leave me yet.

Let me be anything but his sullied pet I have to leave,

I have to get away, I fall to my knees and let my head sway.

Stopping he stares at me and gives a mirrored laugh,

Then he reaches for me as I start to move back I'm to slow, he's to fast,

I can't get away, he's taking me back I can't let this happen, I must react.

Heads to fuzzy, I'm getting to weak I'm stumbling over my own feet

One chance, a pull, a twist, a pop and a moan I'm not the one with a broken bone I'm still running, he's still coming

My strength's about to give out Dead end, cliffs end, water and rocks below

Tell me, if you had a choice which way would you go?
