From It You Ran Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You came to me running.
Out of breath to say...
You now understand.
You came to me running,
For love I gave.
But from it you ran.

You thought of me as nothing.
Someone quick to kick to the curb.
You thought that I deserved it.
Because of gossip and the lies,
You heard.

You didn't see it coming.
Friends of yours to play their tricks
To fool.
And I told you that would happen.
With destroying our relationship too!

You came to me running.
Hoping what I had would still,
Be there.
And it was for awhile that way.
But I couldn't stay...
Hoping that you understood,
What I felt for you wasn't easy...
To admit.
And commit to it.

From it you ran.
And it's gone.
From it you ran.

From it you ran.
And it's gone.
From it you ran.
Understand,
What was isn't to have moved on.
