Running Like Thieves

Walked into the wrong place
At what seemed the worst of times
The familiar glare into those eyes
Came as no surprise
Why did I come here? Why should I stay?
You gave no reply
We stood transfixed, time wouldn’t move
Though seconds crept slowly by
Running like thieves
Flee in desperation
Running like thieves
From a bad situation
Calling out to emptiness
Calling to ourselves
Lashing out with wasted words
Speaking without care
Wouldn’t heed the warning
But the others said beware
No one knows the feelings
Which I’m learning how to bear
Running like thieves
Flee in desperation
Running like thieves
From a bad situation
Yes I tried, I tried to hide
The feeling I let go
What were you thinking?
I guess I’ll never know
We never know who to blame
Why wouldn’t things stay the same?
Running like thieves
Flee in desperation
Running like thieves
From a bad situation
