Between the two of you I was equally divided.
In comes year two and now It’s mostly one sided.
Between the two of you I sat and sobbed unheard.
Your choices after truly dragged you through the dirt.
Brown like that fan you hit implies my choice of words.
So now you upgraded,
And all the past faded.
Like all the parts of you I liked, they're simply outdated.
No more time for family.
You’re stuck running and angry,
You chose to go with the flow, and now the tides changing.

I bet you are tired now
Coz' you were in my dream
Yesterday night
Running a marathon.

i drink coffee
before bed
because i want to dream of running a marathon
far far far far away from you.

now you like it
now you're running from-
what are you running from?
their standards wallpapered
over your raw skin
why do you wear it?
you've never liked
the color yellow
you know you can't
fly through water

I'm running from the pain
Always have been
The problem is
You can't outrun
Yourself
And I'm really the only one who's hurt me...
I don't trust,
   Trust me.

I only see what my broken mind allows,

All the times I'd need'd myself most,
   I wasn't there.

and still, I am impresent to be but what flows,

Please beware,
   my mind.

Never speak to me a promise.
   'tis but a lie you don't yet know you've told.

~~~~

I don't know what I'm writing anymore.
   My hands move if but of their own accord,
whilst I watch the show.
   Every line is a piece of my story I've never read before.

So please ignore,
   if this makes no sense.
I am always tensed with what I don't know.
So,
When my mind and heart conspire,
I scrawl,

I scribe my pains away.

If I ran away.....

How long would it take?
Would your heart break?

Could I ever expect,
That this love that isn't a regret.

Something deeper than this,
Anything more than a kiss?

If I ran away
Would you count the day.

I can't return,
For I have a burn.

A belish on this heart
From the love that is too ****

If I runaway.....
Would you even care, anyway?

it feels like a dream,
seeing you illuminated by the moonlight,
twirling yourself in a circle,
your dress floating vividly.

a cheeky smile,
tainted on your features,
as rich laugh slips your lips.

not a care in the world,
as you take your hand out,
waiting patiently for me to take it.

surpassing a widening smile,
i reach out,
and grasp your hand.

and we run, run, run,
run away from reality,
run away into our own paradise.
patiently awaiting for the day to claim you mine,
so we can travel places you have never been to,
hear exotic laughter and soft groans.
