Greener Pastures

Fleeing into dark night, I run
A truth not wholly accepted
A promise breaking as I write
One story ends, one rejected

I question my decisions now
Fleeing into dark night, I run
Rejection sets me on my way
As to wishes I did have one

The broken mirror reflects all
A dream remaining but no time
Fleeing into dark night,  I run
Only one madness to my rhyme

I run far, always looking back
No hope remains under the sun
Great sentiment jolted off track
Fleeing into dark night, I run

I can feel the desperation in this... running into the vast unknown hoping it's for the best. The part about great sentiments going out of whack... I feel I can relate to that. What started off as something special and sentimental to you is now slowly losing it's meaning...

well the darkness it what remains, always. I do not know why, but I don't fight it either. I just let it go and truly it is never forced. Thank you so much for the comment as always, I enjoy your words.
