A Crappy Ode : Lets Run Away

Let’s run away. Why lead a dreary existence of soured love? You do what you always do and I do what I always do, creatures of habit wary of each other. We fight, we claw, tear the insides; lay our ugly guts out for the world to gloat on. You wish you never laid your eyes on me and I wish I never asked for your number and yet we find ourselves wrapped tightly in satin sheets, slick in passionate embrace.

Let’s run away. So far away from each other that despite all the trembling of the hearts we cannot feel each other’s longing pound our senses. Run away from the hate, the jealously, the love, the drudgery of tears and empty apologies.

Let’s run away and numb ourselves to all that was and now has come to pass. You loved me and I loved you. But now all that lies between us cannot be wanted by either. The silence screams louder than the volley of abusive words and gestures. And yet we are two peas of the same pod, you are my breath and I am your heart. We bring out the worst in each other and cannot have enough of each other.

Let’s run away before we kill each other bit by bit with cruelty and cold kindnesses. You run first and I will follow. You run right and I will turn left. Don’t turn and look lest you see me standing and wishing you never ran.

Let’s run away, before I regret what I am saying and wish we stayed and made it all alright. It hurts too much to run. My breath curls within and refuses to sigh, heart hurts and head spins. Run now before I break down and ask for one more chance. It just isn’t worth it no more, run away, darling, run away, I’m just not worth your while any more.

Why did the post seem nice when I typed in the middle of the night with music blaring in my ears? Its like a woman who looks good only at night after a couple of shots of drinks and come morning I can't even recognise it.

(Strange, but a universal conceit nonetheless.)

Dont let my words discourage you temple. Marriage can be fun even when you are this close to kicking ass or on your knees apologizing ;)

Eliot by any chance? http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html

I'm sure you've read one of the most fabulous opening lines (in my humble opinion, anyway): LET us go then, you and I,..
Compare that with yours:
Let’s run away.
Great post, though.
