you will say I ran. faster than before and gaining speed again. you should have run for fun toward another someone because running feels free stopping feels like eternity. a fish swimming in its bowl not alone but lonely The toll Of stopping is only That there’s no one new to run to. Not to a someone but trapped somewhere. running is easy when it's all you know, breath becomes weighted the slower you go. Another stampede is coming, I can hear the drums, the hooves, a clash of heart on heart, howling of hungry tiered wolves, teeth dripping with blood, broken bodies, cracked perceptions, shattered, splintered remains, The same souls I ran over, excuses again and again. It’s a cold calculus of tiered feet, Never to run toward but flee in retreat, be discreet on repeat, shall we never meet? This special someone they tell you is out there. the same special someone who will hurt you The moment you start to care? It's a soul I trample here, there, everywhere, I’m good at it now. Never too close, a fence of fear, Keep the messiness away, Smooth sailing into another lonely day. Ships sail better with less of a crew, especially when headed into tomorrow, an endless brand new. Coward, coward, you call Yet I never seem to stall. light begins to guide, along the crags and rocks, A new pair of running shoes, sunglasses, and socks. I’m ready to leave again, Into that mid summer day, I’ll be running forever it seems, so why not start today?
I really enjoyed this one. Very real and heartfelt. Would be great lyrics 😎
