Run

I continue to think about it day after day
Wondering when something good will come my way

People all around me hurt others in their way
Selfish to a fault nothing less to say

They never care for others they just take and take
Their friendship is again only for their sake

A key to my happiness is now dead and gone
I sit here wishing that I had been able to move on

I'm stuck within a prison and longing to be free
I am all alone now with no one loving me

I wait and hope for happy and yet it does not come 
I am on my own looking for the sun

Through tear filled eyes I see that his love is gone
So now I write goodbye and turn around and run

Lena, oh my gosh. This was most intense, and truly a masterpiece of feelings pouring onto the page. I hope you are okay, though I feel this will pass. Very well written, little one. Love, Ivy
