I am the hero for once; this is what it feels like?

by Daisy Bassen


Why won’t you wait for me?
I’ve been trying so hard
To catch up and you keep running.

The moon with her secret face,
The tides, the lover
Who’s been hurt and cannot forgive;

The future that is not guaranteed,
My own death, with her secret face.
