Running

by ShaunaMarie   May 1, 2006


Ive been running for so long.
So you could catch me as I fall,
Now Im waiting in the rain,
For you to take away the pain,
Months and years have gone by fast,
And still I always finish last,
As I suffer with my peers,
I still wait for those lost years,
Ive been waiting for so long ,
For you to catch me as I fall,
Im weak from running in the rain,
And still I carry all this pain,
Im broken like a pencils lead,
And so Im lying in my bed,
My bed of roses is so cold,
A rose for every soul thats sold,
Im gaining roses one by one,
The tick of time has once begun,
In many ways I needed you,
I thought that you might need me too,
I have no soul thats left to sell,
You did not catch me as I fell,
I built my life around your plans,
And now Im doomed to endless sands,
Now I see that I was wrong,
I was running way too long,
You did not love me as I thought,
All those times you and I fought,
Life didnt go just as I planned,
An hour glass, with no more sand,
I am empty and so cold,
Like a soul that has been sold,
I just want this all to STOP,
The bubble around me to finally pop,
No more crying, no more pain,
No more running in the rain,
I sat here crying all night long,
All thats left of this sad song,
You forced me to turn the page,
With that I bottled up the rage,
I cant hold in anymore pain,
I cant keep running in the rain,
There seems to be a big black wall,
Blocking me from our endless call,
Daddy come and rescue me,
From this shattered, awful dream,
It scares me to see that Ive lost you,
I thought that you might be scared too,
My daddy is no longer here,
To wipe away my blood-red tear,
Writing this aint easy as pie
No sparkle left in lonely eyes,
Life is dull and oh so gray,
All that I have left to say,
Is no more crying, no more pain,
No more running in the rain...
