Running
running blind
running scared
she wants to fall in love
but she does not dare
running alone
looking back
she is going nowhere fast
she wants someone to love and to love her back
but there is too on the line too much too risk
too much would be given and too much would be lost.
running and running and running some more
crazy and wild shes all over the place
making the same decsions
making the same mistakes that she did once before
shes wondered down the same damn paths
slowly over time
but now she has stopped running
taking it step by step
its not worth it
she can only face what is before her
no more hiding no escape
she can only imagine what is in store
