The Runner
|
|
One race wasn't enough for him The runner wanted another go I told him I was already exhausted What happened next, I'll never know |
|
I had run and crossed the finish line He was far behind, in second place I broke through the ribbon when he was halfway But he still wanted to finish the race |
|
That's when the stadium lights went out When the spectators were asleep or gone home I had to leave and check out of the stadium And venture out into the great unknown |
|
I never ran against him before that night I had never met him or spoken to him before The following week I returned to the stadium So we could run together once more |
|
When the gun was raised, he took off like a rocket Then I ran backwards along the circular track I removed the hurdles before he came to them I then left the stadium, never to come back. |
