Running Away

Today has been a day she wishes she
could forget ever even happened
A day when her friends seen to
feel as blue as she does
She feels as blue as a cloudless sky
Even someone as optimistic as she
tries to be can feel like running away
Oh God she sees nothing but gray

If she ran where could she go?
Would her heart let her forget the stabbing pain
that has made its home there for three long months
if only for a while?
Her lover’s arms are what feel like miles
beyond her reach
She knows he’d wrap her in his love
if only he could be in the same place she was

When she lays her head down tonight
She’ll pray that He gives her strength to
stay grounded and fight the urge to
run as far and as fast as she can
one day she hopes her heart
will be as light as it once was
