As we walk
the beach

He turns
to me


softness in
his eyes


A carress
on my cheek
no need to speak


A teardrop
never lies


I turn away
no need to stay
Those words
I cannot bear
I turn to flee
he chases me

my screams now
fill the air
my heart is racing
I cannot breath
my thoughts are
all askew

where am i going
i ask myself


Where am I running to?
For you cant escape
when your heart breaks
theres no place to run to

For nothing will shield
you from the pain its
something we must go thru

I have no idea why this poem did not get any replies.  It must have gotten lost in the shuffle and PiP pace.  I enjoyed it.

There is no escape from heartbreak this is true. but there is that cliche that rings true it is better to have loved and well u know the rest.

I enjoyed this

Ah, yeah sometimes our poems get lost in the shuffle. sometime people are having a bad day and just don't feel like responding.

This is pure love/pain/escapism. I like the way it went from the softness in his eyes to abject terror. Good stuff.
