Hey there

I'm not sure about you,

But I'm exhausted from running

Round and round and

round and Round

this mulberry bush

Feet slipping, leggs chasing

Round and round and

Around --

How did we get here,

Running? Aimlessly

grabbing each other's tailcoats in vain

Desperately, grasping the truth we know would escape

My breath now, hitches in my chest --

Leggs drag, tired from running

With no aim --

But it is my mind that is drained, weary

Heavy.

Like lead, too heavy

can't run around this bush

Anymore

with no aim

I wish I know why we're running

At all

I want to stop; I really do

I wish you'd want the same thing too

All this time

I guess

Running round this mulberry bush;

Playing the game which rules

We do not know

We were trying

So hard --

My breath still would not come --

To face each other

To say things we had to say

Wouldn't it be easier, now

If you'd stop looking away?
