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.

I like the contrast of green pastures for the title and the lines on fleeing into dark night . very unique!
