I’m running,
so far.

I’m running until the pain stops.
That unbearable pain in my chest,
I just want it to fly away,
as if it’s a bird flying away from its cage.

I’m running until the tears stop falling.
Those tears streaking down my face,
Leaving a stain.

I’m running,
So very far…

All I want is for it to stop,
WHY WON’T YOU STOP!
please just stop!

Make the tears disappear,
make the pain fade away,
and the running,
Oh the running,
make that dreadful running stop!

Please,
put an end to it all,
just once,
make everything go away.

But until then,
I’ll continue to run,
so,
     so,
           far...
