Run girl run
Run from love as it chases you down
with its' iron grip and crushing teeth
You know not to trust that siren song
It caught you once or twice before
Tearing your soft flesh before you wriggled free
To hide, to lick your wounds
Run girl run
From the love that catches in your throat like a swallowed rock,
you thought was sugary sweet
You'll drown without air
You'll break the fragile dam of your heart
that barely holds the universe together
Love comes bursting through like a solar flare
Run girl run
You've only got 8 minutes
before it goes supernova
and all is ash
