She runs to him with open arms,

leaving behind a sea of doubts

and her safe place.

To be with him, when he’s so far,

She scratched her knees and hushed her cry

and bruised her heart.

Then, finally, one step ahead,

he sees her running and he’s smiling

to someone else.

To beg, to plead, to pray or leave?

She would do all and far beyond them!

but he can’t see.

Together in two different worlds,

when all she’s dreaming is his touches,

they’re strangers.

Her knees are bruised, she doesn’t know

to pray for love, to ask for mercy!

She felt too much and now, with him,

they’re dying.
