running away

fast on the opposite track
but she keeps looking back
they look on amused
feeling used

she's no one special
she's not superficial
she's hiding from fault
and scared of assault

she hums that tune
she knows that soon
she'll regret that choice
she had voiced

she rhymes like a child
only to tame a wild
other person hiding
with a longing

that she's running a track
and turning her back
for a reason that's worth
this heart's dearth
