I went for a run at 3 am to clear my head Or maybe just to outrun my pain Even if that metaphor is as tired as my legs I meant to come back But the farther i got The more i realized i didnt want to return And be constantly reminded of the agony Disappointment Frustration The farther i got The more distant i became The safer The very real sadness Could be chocked up to more imaginary Concerns When i went to turn back Its as if my brain screamed go Yet everything else remained perfectly Still So here i wait in the blistering cold Because even subzero weather seems Warmer Than what permeates inside
