thought that i was alone here
shielded with emerald leaves
guarded by the arms of pine trees
i was free, i was unbound
serenity rushed through my veins
then your shadow appeared
in the corner of my eyes
creeping from behind those arms
and beneath my bare feet
then i found myself running
running,
running through the woods
that once was my source of calamity
now transformed into anxiety
i was running
when something gripped my feet
black mass, lacerating my skin
in a split second, it stopped me
and i saw nothing.
