I am running
From you to them
And back again
Sorry I am
But running all the same
For I am too filled with fear
To let myself close
I tend to get hurt
And this is just as much
My own fault
As it is yours
My expectations are vast mountains
To which you cannot even begin to measure up to
And I recognize this
But it also can be you
Who rips my heart, apart
I found myself so dark and bitter
For I was trying
To find everything I am in you
So let me quickly race
Pausing only momentarily
With those I love
For they are many
But mostly, I am trying to protect myself.
