m

I packed ten pairs of clothes
into a suitcase and headed north
so I could try to run one more time.
But m saw me get in the car
And decide to follow.

 

Most of my life, I have tried to escape.
But m somehow finds me.
m is a master, you see. 

 

On Thursday I realized
m will never
let me free; never
let me be
silent.
m will always lurk
in the corners,
waiting...

 

When m's games
no longer evoke reaction
m becomes a friend.
I must remember where I hid the key
when I wake up
from this long dreammmmmm.
