numisma The Running Man
She waits for no man, but she lives only for him.
He wanders - running through the thick bramble of jaded past, out-stepping the grab and pull of the wronged dead.
She lives for him, but he thinks it’s pointless. Kohaku knows she has a good heart; she means well.
Sango cannot let go; her fingers flex and run through the air - reveling in a memory that shapes into the softness of his hair.
She misses him, but he keeps running. He’s running away to something; he’s leaving her behind because he knows she should live for herself - and not for him.
He thinks she deserves to be happy, but she will net let herself. Misery steals the energy around her. She wades through a thick, muddy swamp of guilt.
Sango wants to hold him again, kiss his mouth to give him life. But Kohaku runs from her because he knows it can never be.
He knows that he is already dead.
