drink, lost love, love,
I’m one drink closer to yesterday
A bottle away from being with you
I’ll be able to say what I need to say
I’ll be able to do what I need to do
I’m one drink closer to yesterday
My mind repeats the words we said
When love was new and could outweigh
The troubles that would lie ahead
Now my love is made of glass
I pour my heart as I trespass
On memories that I know must last
While wishing I could change the past
I’m one drink closer to yesterday
I’m one shot away from happiness
And this time, I won’t runaway
And my words won’t be meaningless

love,
Butterfly kisses on nape of neck
Make me feel warm soft blessed
Because you are my yellow happiness
My love like a dove that has flown the nest
Runaway love so red and free
The kind of passion like a fruit so sweet
For the old fashioned or newer generation
Love from above heaven sent celebration.

childhood, daughter, depression, love, mother, me, me,
My cloak is no match for your brown eyes
You see my everything, no way to deny
Everything bare and naked like bone
Your warmth overwhelms my cold eyes of stone
No place to hide or runaway
Your arms scoop me up and carry me away
The scars I so desperately mask
You see right through, never meant to last
From the freshly painted crimson tares
To the lines that are barely there
With the hands that match my own
You heal me with more love than I could have ever known

love,
We are two inharmonious worlds as a cry.
As if we like sins, deliberately happened,
As if we were obstinately juggling
The calmness of water and moment
Two divergent epochs we are
Between wilderness and return,
So especial and so distinguished
In the width of text and amazement
Listening as if we heard our voices
Runaway from our mouths and burn
Crying, as if their comebacks like lightning!
So miserable this life will be-
If it's not "gathering two separated person"
Misled by echo, not longing!

emotions, for her,
Skidding along the ice-covered ground
Traversing like a runaway hound
Eluding, hopping on series of mound
And lines of snowflakes over a thousand pound
Skiing from a snow peak so high
In my soul an eidetic heart that thrives
Your memory I keep alive not sigh
Your vim in me that cogently drives
With the dancing sun that shines on me not dries
Over and under frigid trees my skis and I flies
Hails and blizzards never bid you my byes
My feet on drifting snow, my heart never dies
The floating moon sends you my voice in verse
You, I adore, and pray for without haste
A boon in my life I hoist, not immerse
Up and down the snow-filled hills, my love I praise

If I had just one day to live
24 hours to feel complete
Would I race across the castle of my dreams
Hunted by the echo of the tick tock clock
Dreading the moment that fateful tune came to a halt
Chasing down runaway thoughts
Frantically piecing together broken promises
All while fearing the silence, the end of the tick, tock;
Rather
I would gaze up at the steps of this sky high castle
This floating montage of my life
And lounge upon the first step,
Resigned to enjoy these fated moments
Without fear or regret,
Resigned to enjoy this melody with those I love
This farewell tune played to me by the tick tock clock.

lost love,
Give me your goodbye
Give me away
Give me that stone cold expression of your precious face;
Give me that old, slow confession of your pestered faith
Give me swift heartbreak;
Give me quick heartache
Give me my pain.
Give me that runway;
Give me that runaway
That stumbled weak kneed;
That "why me?" God prayer
Give me your goodbye
Give me away.

drug, love, parents, teen,
“Our angel,” Mom and Dad declared
throughout their daughter’s early years.
When she revolted, tempers flared.
Mild punishment caused bitter tears.
She ran away! Her parents’ fears
engendered searches. They would find
their teenage runaway on crack.
Without judgmental words but kind
and loving hugs, they coaxed her back,
where proper treatment does not lack.

Runaway
In a night elope
Preserving the forbidden love
Denounced aloud by the society where they lived
Pursuancing to legalize by church and laws, the love that sparked as an volcano

I'm running in the cold winter,
I'm safe and warm,
Yet I feel the cold air.
I feel the coldness on my skin,
As I run into the dark forest.
Trying to run from the cruel world.
Trying to find solitude,
I'm scared...
I need to find the light.
A shining light to find my way.
I run through the trees.
I see a land covered with flowers,
I feel the warmth full the air,
With love and happiness.
I want this moment to last,
I want to runaway to the fields...

Path serves
As escape
Of the bride to be
That decided to runaway
From the white wedding ceremony rite in the church
After discovering that groom heart and passionate love belongs to other damsel

heartbreak, loneliness, lost love,
In the blink of an eye, the devil and I, surrender or die
Out on a limb, lose it or win, love it or sin
My love is drowning, forever frowning, no more clowning
Tears that bring, a shattered spring, a runaway ring
The trap was set, on the night we met, I do regret
Cold as ice, no more spice, tighten the vice
Fire and haze, I’m still in a haze, lost in a maze
Life or death, morphine or meth, take your last breath
Fallen angels, turning pages, crushing creations
Left behind, with a manqué mind, one of a kind.

I see my breathe.
Night has fell upon a frost.
Gods' chill lye now on my shoulders.
Alone yet not.
Silence now before the icey rain.
Surrender as my nervous teeth chatter.
For the warmth of a home is all that is desired.
My empty haven.
But,I am filled with a heart that is full.
Want nor wait.
Arms now cover me like a blanket.
Gust of wind has carried your unwaivered heart.
Candles lit a way to find what is left.
Merely an image of what once was.
Break down into a sob.
Remains frozen solid as climate has taken its' vengence.
I suffer no more,weak body.
Now only in spirit.
Shall I rest.

I've fallen apart inside
My saddness is hard to hide,
I got an overwhelming headache
from my devestating heartbreak
I feel sick and lost because I lost someone I love,
Feeling like I'm living the worst nightmare you could ever think of.
It's critical the way I feel
It's a deep pain that can never be healed
I just wanna runaway
Somewhere very far to see a brighter day
Just know accidents causes heartbreaks
I lost someone so real never fake.
He's in heaven now because only the best God will take.

The city’s streaming lights are
incandescent veins,
you and I a runaway fizz of champagne.
From gilded parlor to speakeasy
we carom,
giddy bubbles out to carbonate the still night.
And the city is now sparkling,
intoxicating as new love.

had it up to here
he came to steal kill destroy
want to runaway
river of tears flow
destroys on all who believe
who do I go to
can’t run it is me
he who ruins the life of one
give up no option
I believe in you
the prince of peace king of kings
submit to you now
wipe the world away
when I am weak strong I am
trust you provider

I’m waiting for that morning
To bring the loch back to my eyes
And you darling you
Turn into a runaway cloud
And let your shower

I will runaway from you.
I will runaway because I am blue.
I will runaway from you
I will runaway because I dont know whats true.
In your eyes I see my pain life seems like a big unfair game.
I dont wanna play.
I just have to say.
My heart is broken and what I have lost.
Your love won't remedy the cost.
I am still hurting and I need time to make up my mind.
You will have to wait and see.
You dont really love me. we dont have chemistry. I am sorry I must leave. This is hurting me.

childhood, daughter, depression, family, fear, loss, mother, mother, me, me, mother,
Broken homes and broken bones
Dads are gone and moms on drugs
At the age of nine I'm forced to chase my mother in and out of abandon homes.
Never felt more pain until the day my mom offered me to some strange man.
What was done plays back in my head everyday.
Never thought my mother would love drugs more than me.
At that point in my life I knew everything was wrong, and my childhood gone.
I tried to quickly runaway until i hear a deep voice say, "DON'T TAKE ANOTHER STEP".
Very abusive, he grabs my hands and throws me on the floor.
My mother sat there as it happened.
This strange man constantly raped me as I screamed and tried to get away.
My mother sat there and had nothing to say.

depression, fear, girlfriend-boyfriend, growing up, introspection, life, love, recovery from..., old, old, stress,
It's too much to deal with
With too many thoughts with too many people with too many hearts
Tired of the emotions
Tired of the knots
Of stress in my back and tired of the shots
Dealing with others and other peoples plots
Family and friends and lovers forgot
It's so easy to replace the stress and the plots
The scenery, the people, and the old is forgot
I love to runaway
For change in a better way but then sometimes I miss my old days
I find myself wishing and praying in a gaze that this new path is really a better way

Freedom, keys, take these chains off please.
Summer burns down,
stinging my eyes,
making my body weak.
Love, hatred,
put into drugs,
it makes me high,
I wish I could runaway.
I'm stuck to you,
no matter where I go,
your always in my sight.
These chains,
keeps digging into me,
like I'm a bandait,
that you found.
Please, oh please,
someone make him go away,
he's the one who has the key,
he's the one who I need shut out of my life for good.
Freedom, keys, take these chains off please.
He's the chains,
he's everything,
that makes me high.
He's the lock away from my actual freedom,
he's more than an enemy,
but he's someone that I wish I never had met.

How does an orphan
Vocally display the need
to runaway
What it's like throwing a
coin into a wishing well
Too curse a spell
Grow not skin but shell
Seek the face of one's mother
In every single damming crowd
Never destined to find
Walk emotionally blind and love less
As comfort less as a sleeping bag
At the bottom of a concrete step
on a hailstorm mattress
And worst of all feel it's somehow
your own fault
Surely i must have done something
wrong in order to deserve this
As not even life itself wishes
me nor my stolen tossed coin well
As still it remains laying rusting
green in a Roman fountain bath
Green with envy yet eternally blue

love
The galaxies are running away
Moving away from each other
With monstrous speed
Worlds keep going off with the red shift
Space infinitely expands toward emptiness
What about us?
Can our love keep us together
In the middle of this endless moving off?

Lord I'm so thirsty my mouth is parched
I am so hungry I need nourishment
It all Lord I am thirsty
You are my cup of water
In a drought
And Lord You Are My substance
Throwing my stomach Cries Out
When I'm hungry oh Lord you have fed
Fed me with your love and manna
Your holy bread
You're my Waters running Wells Springs that never dry
You're My Level decanted dark valleys in the sky
You lighten up the pathway so I can see the realness with my natural eye
Good night say that you're a well of Rushing Water that are never run away
