And I had to walk away
I was just hoping at least he noticed I didn't run
the title is a thought for after the poem

Sometimes your heart needs to be broken
So you can see what's underneath,
To the flicker and flame of your soul
That you've always been destined to meet.

Sometimes your spirit shines brighter
Through the glimmering light of your tears,
And when you arrive at the end of it all
Love will outshine the darkest of years

MOMMY DEAREST*
sadly,
you killed everyone in your head
including the loving person i knew,
growing up with a best friend
that ended up being my mother,
and the past twelve years i watched
as you died and the heartbreak
you caused all who loved you
and by denying the help they gave you
by denying the help you needed
to accept reality the way *we
have to,
and so as you've killed us all
and isolated yourself to the point
that i'd had to write your eulogy,
for you couldn't accept your life's detachment
from everyone, ties you severed yourself,
and that me being the only one left
left me with no choice
but to bury you six feet deeper
than the demons i created on my own
because I can't take care of yours too
in the fifth circle of hell
after I've escaped purgatory senses
and discovered my freedom's as a man.
I hope they can forgive you and you can get your wings.
I'll cry harder this year watching It's A Wonderful Life alone when that bell rings.

Lets run away
We can go anywhere
To the stars and back!
You don't even have to love me
And the world will be ours
Nothing to distract
So lets run away
Because I know sometimes we need to escape
And we can ignore all those other pains
That keep us held down day to day
And I think we could conquer our fears
If we just stuck them out together,
Forever.
Lets run away
And I promise we'll make it
Without a scratch
Because I've got your back and you've got mine
Tomorrow is a gift in our hands
Who knew there'd be so much less time?
I want to run with you,
Because I know you're the only one who
understands that
sometimes this world is too
much for one to handle on their own
That's why I have you.
to keep the balance in my tilting life.
And I am not alone.
We only need each other and we can conquer the strife.
And as long as you want me to
I will love you
So follow me today,
Right now.
And we can run away.

I told you so,
When I told you you'd lose interest in me,
as quickly as day turns to night,
I knew that you'd walk away,
before your shy feet even turned in my direction,
I told you you'd do it,
before you even did,
because really,
everything good that comes, eventually goes,
and even though I'd prefer if you stayed,
I never hold my hopes up too high,
since I knew you were like a beautiful sunset,
that sooner or later would fade to black
