I said something that scared you

Something I knew you knew

Something that lingered for ages

But words made it true

I asked you for honesty

And you fled from me

And didn’t look back

Even after the twilight before

When you told us about the

Guilt given to you by your Father

That you swore to battle

I’ll wait a sunrise or so more

To see if you’ll return my call

Or knock at my door

To hear a lick of clarity on your lips

Or have them meet mine

But when sunsets come sooner

And the bluffs are dressed in orange

I’ll shoo you from my thoughts

I’ll try to not linger on a coward

Are you running from me

Cover reveal!
