A Long Hallway Dash

Tie me up or tear me down.

Poison me; I won’t make a sound.

Whether on the road or beneath the sand,

I’ll grant whatever you demand.

Get clean for me. I’ll wait for you.

Put the gun away; I’ll stay for you.

But the truth is, I lie to you.

When you turn your back and walk away,

I will grab my shoes and run away.
