Run
I ran down the hill in a furious dart
My bare feet burning in the summer dirt
The sun beating down on my dark, curly hair
As I ran

How could the words I heard be truth?
Why didn't I know before I was told?
Confusion and grief were filling my head
As I ran

Years have gone with questions unanswered
Truths still not uttered
Hopes dashed upon a fear
And I run
Time is a motion moving away
Climbing and clawing
Running away
Time only stops when love is about
Then scurries out
Don't close your eyes while time moves on
You'll miss the sweet, the laughter, the dawn.
I gave my heart
You crushed my soul
With a mocking grin
You let me go

How dare you hate
And now I find
You gave to others
What was only mine

To walk away
Will be my trial
No looking back
No denial

— The End —
