Beautiful Scars Poet Couplet

I Ran To the Mountains

Beaten and battered I ran to the mountains,
     I didn’t see pretty scenery or flowing fountains-
          All I saw was lack of forgiveness without grace,
               as I remember the look you smeared on your face.

Torrential downpours ruined our wedding day,
     lack of love was probably why I didn’t stay-
          I’ve raced your horses and ended up in the stable,
               but completely loving you I was never able.

“RUN FAST!”, and never look back mamma told me,
     I should’ve listened but I wanted to feel free-
          “Please no more chains!” they leave me constricted,
               I’ve lived a life so lost and contradicted. 

Loss is the reason I have never loved deep,
     pain and sorrow is the reason I never sleep-
          Promises broken as I close my eyes the last time,
              the mountains didn’t save me, you were never mine.
