Splatter #1

THE CHASING GAME
I've lost count of how many steps I made.
Gathered up my courage, for words of love to be said.
But to no avail, no matter how fast I trail,
it looks like my pace's slower.
I couldn't keep up.
You're feet away farther.
I've lost count of how many chances I saw you.
Grabbed those opportunities to
be near you.
But each time I chase, feels like fate's trying to say,
"Give up! She'll never look your way."
I've lost count of how many times I called your name.
Hoping you'd turn your head from where you've been.
It seems like you didn't hear
or you heard but didn't bother?
Please, stop for at least a while.
I'm tired. I really am.
Suddenly, you stopped.
I thought it's my time.
But, I was mistaken.
You've been running away from me 'cause you're chasing him.
You could've turned your back.
You could've just heard me calling.
From the start, I'm here.
Yet, you chose not to notice
He's the one you want to chase.
Enough of this chasing game!
I have no chance to win.
After all, it's not me.
Your heart belongs to him.
So, I turned my back, wiped my tears.
Only to see her, chasing after me.
She- whose willing to be mine.
Maybe, things will be better this time.
