The Tortoise and The Hare
You were the Tortoise
And I, the Hare
Though I ran ahead
You did not despair
With slow, pretentious strides
You paved yourself a steady path
And as I ran for my life
I heard your jests, your taunts, your laugh
So full of yourself
Such a conceited w****
And thinking back now with a bitter laugh
I remember, twas you I once adored
It was you
With your stone-grey, blue eyes
Unwavering beacons
As you kept proclaiming the same tired lie
"I love you!" you mocked
As I ran for the hills
And I cried back in an echo
"I love you," and then "I always will."
"Forever!" you chimed
And laid the promise along my path
And as I tripped over lie
I swore back that we would last
Collapsing where I stood
I gripped reality by its mane
Would I really have to run no more?
Or had I just gone insane?
But then your figure broke the endless horizon
And I set reality free
Awaiting the arrival of my beloved
Awaiting the second that would let "us" be
I looked up at you in a lovestruck daze
Waiting for you to respond in kind
But you didn't bother to look at me
As you crossed the finish line.
