My vision a grey mist <br />I see him flee <br />He runs from the unknown <br />Fear strikes through me like lightning on a summer’s day <br />For fear that this day would be his last <br />I run <br />I do not know where but I run <br />I follow his bare back for fear it will be the last <br />He does not slow <br />I call out his name but I do not see his face <br />He runs <br />The more I chase the more I long <br />I long for his touch, his embrace <br />Non do not happen <br />I run <br />I long for his melting voice, that mesmerizing smile <br />I call out, but he does not answer <br />I fear this is goodbye <br />He runs <br />I feel pain, like a hot Iron rod though my heart <br />Once more I call out, Once again silence <br />I long for his warmth <br />Only to feel ice <br />I run <br />I scream with the lungs of a mermaid <br />I scream the sirens song <br />He turns but does not slow <br />His face is of an angel <br />With the devils grin <br />He runs <br />I wake but he is already gone <br />Silent as the winter winds <br />His heart just as cold <br />A one sided love <br />An empty chase<br /><br />Amber Griggs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-chase-9/
