I won’t chase you

I won’t chase you
No, not the same way my mind would run in straight lines, meeting at the center dot, the very peak of all the pathetic madness

No, I won’t chase you
I’ll join you in this funny dance of who spins faster
Breaking bones and spirit and our eyes lock in sessions

I won’t chase you
No, not the same way the wind steals secrets on a Tuesday morning, never leaving receipts or senders

I won’t chase you
I’ll join you as we chant songs we don’t have a clue about, perhaps soak in the dreaded silence till our feet tangle almost like we’re hanging.

I won’t chase you
No, not the same way we’re in a marathon where no one wins or the constant push and pull in distress as we race to reach a finish line where there’s no prize

I won’t chase
I’ll sit here in my pretty green with hopes that you catch the bug, the same one that bit me some moons ago, and now my cloud is raining cupid

I won’t chase you
No, not the way the birds fly as they journey to a place we wouldn’t know, can’t say, and won’t know

I won’t chase you
I’ll just wait for you on my blue and sunny days as you drift nearer or apart, but whatever the end says, I only know I can’t chase you.

I won’t chase you.
