Run From Love

I’m lost in  the memories of love and misery’s taunts

I cry within daily but my reflection in the mirror I can not see

My eyes swollen from holding back the tears
I can not see the pain I have 

I’m blinded by the love 

Why do children grow up in pain 

Lost and silent
they seek love

To only find that the love they seek is the abuse they receive 

Altering there views of secure and love

To only shield themselves behind mountains of walls 
The safety of detaching from all who love

They run from those that love
