I had to run away...
I had no choice.
Scrambled thoughts and emotional fear.
Your actions left me no foundation...
And judged with no voice.
Now I'm a fugitive.
My heart on a string.
To those I held dear.
I have nowhere to call home.
Just the great vastness of ground...
Distant voices I hear.
Yet I not hear a sound.
I travel all alone.
Where do I lie my head?
And how do I stop it from pounding?
And the voices of my children...
Be muted but resounding.
Do you not let them speak?
Where is my dad?
Why don't he come home.
Embedded in my heart.
Yet I'm all alone.
My chest upheaves and seems to never exhale.
Society I shun from.
I now live behind a veil.
I'm not bitter.
But yet still.
All I ask is peace.
Unchain me.
Let me be.
Life is to short.
Unless pain is your gain.
I'll submit...
I surrender.
I'll accept all the blame.
Is it revenge that you seek?
I'm tired.
I'm meek.
Theres no claim to fame.
I want to stop running.
Will you meet me half way?
The past wasn't easy.
There's a future...
I pray.
Yesterdays gone.
Today is today.
I wish you happiness.
I have paid dearly for my wrongs.
You hurt.
I hurt.
We both knew all along.
We had once loved.
A memory instilled.
Let it not stand swallowed...
A lifetime, bitter pill.
Let's just hug and say goodbye.
