to support me
Not to cover my face
smothering me
Can’t you see
that’s what you did to me?
---
---
I did not run to be mean
or control you
I ran because I could not breath…
---

But I needed a pillow
so I kept coming back
Hoping you would learn
to be by my side
Equal beings
neither better nor worse
Existing to support each other
Like the pillow under my head.
