Walking blindly down a backwards road.
Never knowing if I'm moving or just running in place.
Nothing around me, just emptiness.
If I scream, will it be heard?
If I collapse in exaustion, will you be by my side or grasp to her even though she will never belong to you.

The author's comments:
I have this crush on this guy, but he is in love with another girl who in turn is in love with her boyfriend. This whole situation is just very onerous and hard for me. I hope that it will be interpreted in different ways. For me it was just a way to get something out, and not have it all bottled up inside.
