Chapter Fifty-Eight: "Runner"

Met You And Then You Ran,
Called Me A Hippie,
Yeah, Just Like That.

You Helped A Lot When Called,
Not Often I Saw You,
Except At Lunch.

Was It A Hunch?
Something That Told Me,
You'd Understand Me,
And Not Confront Me?

So I Gave It A Shot,
And Spoke With You,
You Were Laid-Back,
You Saw Through.

Small Moments You'd Reach To Me,
Up For Conversation?
Kept Smiling Free.

Hard To Find You Angry,
Never Saw You Sad,
But When We Spoke,
You Related,
You Understood To Be Broke.

I Started To Understand,
I Was Recruiting,
But I Did Not Want To Follow On T's Steps,
This Wasn't The Way To Reign.

I Just Wanted Friends,
For I Was Never Allowed,
My Brother's Rules,
Always Covering Me In A Shroud.

Then You Told Me You Were Leaving,
I Realized,
This Kingdom Now Rotten,
Many More Would Follow,
Escape From This Hell,
A Hard Pill To Swallow.

For Now The End Was Coming,
Our Sister Being Summoned.

Welcome To The Fall.

So Keep Going, Runner,
You'll Reach Your Future,
For You Always Ran Forward,
Greater Things... Sooner.
