I run as fast as I can,
Trying to escape such memories.
Happy and sad alike,
I don't want them part of me.
...
She runs from pain like she hides from the truth.
Honesty, integrity; things that aren't her roots.
She dreams of wings and flying away
Hopes that somehow there will be a better day.
...
A day starts out softly,
Like a dream that has to begin.
It's cool and beautiful,
Like a wish that's never been.
...
His eyes burn and throb.
If only to close them,
It would all go away.
The thoughts won't allow him.
...
You smile and laugh as I fight on.
I've a scarred heart and bloodied knuckles
But you still want me to fly
You're the angel, trying to catch the free bird
...
I stand outside and breathe in.
They are such calm, cool, soothing breaths.
My lungs fill with the damp kissed air.
My hair is teased by the quiet breeze.
...
To be with you is to be with him.
I cannot escape his influence.
He taunts me with his knowledge
And tortures me with your heart.
...
It's unimaginable,
This agony I feel.
It's festering inside,
Like a wound that cannot heal.
...
Sweet clover beneath my feet
As sweet as dream inside of a dream.
My toes curl in contented comfort.
The sigh that escapes my lips was impossible to hold.
...
