Giving in - sometimes you get so far away you can't remember why you're running. Hopefully the moment isn't horrid, because that means all our fears are true....

sometimes the words just come eh?

always something to ponder in your words,

I love it that this was written at 2am in a semiconscious state.Succinct,it may be,but it has a mighty pull.
Being found because you had run so far away? Now that beauty did it for me,left me haunted and drawn in .

I loved this one. Hardly a rout when you captured it in this bullet of a poem! haha

"in that perfectly horrid moment
of giving in"

That's exactly how I imagine it.
