A RUNNER
How well it all comes back to me;
The self imposed captivity,
Why I withdrew, you've got to know,
I could not let my feelings show,
For fear that they’d be misconstrued
As something more than gratitude
The purest motives, I won't lie,
Can end up in disaster. Why?
Because two lonely people's hearts
Can easily be torn apart
Beginning when they drop their guard
Then, when they fall, they fall so hard
I can’t conceive how people gain
By causing others so much pain
How anyone can be so cruel
To break a heart then act so cool
Is more than I can comprehend
But they’re the losers in the end
A runner, I have always been
And have been since I don’t know when
It’s hard to lay my feelings bare
My senses keen, now I'm aware
And keep a constant vigil on
This heart of mine. Is that so wrong?
