I Run

I run and I run but what am I running from? I can't remember anymore my past is a blur My breathing is ragged my chest is burning and I feel the sob escape my throat as hot tears stream down my cold face I sink to the frosty ground the early morning fog disguising my form and I let the pain rip through me the fear, the regret, the loss Overpowered by guilt and regret the feelings consume me Where has my life gone? Where is it going? To feel again is overwhelming but this ache in my chest wont be sated I pick myself up and put on my facade and I run and I run
