I Run

I run so that I can breathe
I run so I can really see
to clear my heart and mind
leave it all behind
I run to things not away
this is just how I process
my way
I run for me
I run for them all
I run so when its time stop
I will stand tall

i can’t breathe
his cold eyes stare
into mine
i don’t want you
i cry out
helplessly
oh but darling,
he whispers
the heart wants
what the heart
wants
oh but what if
i don’t want you?
i murmur
i can’t breathe
his cold eyes stare
into mine
i cry out
helplessly

the moment -
that I started writing poems for you,
that's when I knew,
deep inside my heart -
you're different from everyone else

we used to be together -
but then we drifted apart
by unknown forces
which we cannot control

every night
I'll secretly tell the universe
that I love you
and I will never stop -
until all those I love you's
become the stars in the night sky

midnight
every time I'm in the state
of euphoria -
you're always that gravitational force
that pulls me down

last night —
we decided to climb a mountain,
we had a good start, but,
the moment we felt like giving up,
we decided to stop —
unpacked our bags,
and when everything felt lighter,
we continued the hike

I want to be your haven -
come close, never hesitate,
you're safe with me,
I'll keep you warm -
Amid this storm

I created a world —
enough,
for my loved ones to enjoy
but then —
they started to leave,
then my world became flooded with questions —
was it really enough at some point
or maybe —
someone else's world was far better than mine
