17. runaways

you said there was no other option.

so we ran away.

with our hands intertwined we caught a cab and escaped the city.

we had nowhere to go
and
just our hearts leading the way.

we took the subway train to the furthest stop and found a place off sixth.
our parents never found us and we got married on the fifth.

some may say it's a happy ending, but we were alone.

we were alone together, but alone nonetheless.

reckless teens do reckless things and we had nowhere to go.

we were runaways who did things that would separate us forever.

now i'm in shackles and you're free.

I'd do anything for you,
and my actions show.

you ruin me.
