The Issue

Running

By Josiah.thepoetPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I’m running away again

I’m avoiding the hurt, again

There’s easier ways to make the pain end

But I’m running away again

She swore one day my heart would mend

Like before cupid’s bow did bend

The arrow, it flew

My heart it slew

That’s why I’m running away again

Can you hear my feet as I run

But my heart I still shun

With my heart must I bade

To return from the shade

And stop running away again

My mind now is made up

My emotions all well up

But now I wish I was stone

Then I’d never moan

That’s why I’m running away again
