Wait for me posted by Soph

I suppose you think this is just a game?
Playing with me like a toy in your nursery.
Hopscotch on the playground.
Manipulating me.
Winding me
up by a
rusty
key.


Why am I the one playing tag with you?
You are always going to be
two steps ahead of me,
two years older than
me,two lifetimes
apart from
me.

Hopping and skipping from one step to the next.
I'm going my fastest.Why won't
you slow down
and wait for
me?

Why are you in such a hurry?Time will wait.
We can't play games anymore
Stop pretending that you
never tricked
me.

Did you intend to hurt me? By making it painless
you hurt me more,
Why do I still
love
You?
