Running Running

Imagine being afraid
of a dream that's never-ending,
constantly crashing into a black rainbow
which wraps you up in heavy chains.

A new question spoils the entire day,
as a touch of misplaced memory
is powerfully surging through my mind,
and I am terrified to face what might explode
if I open my eyes to see.

They approach without warning,
falling through the empty holes in my memory,
but I cannot seek comfort
for I am always on the run...

... I have forgotten exactly
what it is I am running from...

yet still, I keep on running.
