“Got away”
implies
the alternative is capture,
and who’s
strong enough
to hold a briar-heart
for that long?
You
were the one
who stopped time
to make love
to a passing moment,
to a memory
already distorted
by the frenzied bushwhacking
of infatuation.
They
were never here enough
to leave.
We
are all exactly where
we want to be,
whether we like it
or not.
The one who got away
