The Runner and I

There was a little boy so blue amongst the pain of life he grew He wondered where he'd be one day so Satan helped to lead the way He longed to walk home in the sun but evil forces made him run The Fallen Angel's sick revenge was to employ children to avenge He made those bullies cruel "persecute this child to - and - from school" No one to trust to teach him well so evil led his pride to swell There was a little girl as well who grew up in a different hell She was abandoned by her mom her life was anything but calm She was adopted by a rigid pair but she longed for love and truth to share Nobody seemed to fit the mold consumed with lies that she was told Satan also grabbed this chance she ran through life without a glance A player she could not commit her soul-mate had to be legit Now he's my husband I am his wife I finally took that chance in life For I was ready to forgive but he had never learned to live How ironic that these two should meet I'm ready to ground he runs in defeat Now here I sit back at the start while my "soul-mate's" going to break my heart He's still a runner and I'm here to stay two people can't grow if one is this way He promised his soul to me but I am still one in this unity
