Running From Myself

Will anybody notice when I am gone? End my time in this world and say so long. I've gave so much of my heart it's finally gone. With just a hollowed inside I'm rarely strong. I'm getting outta of this world and leaving fast. Just put my gun inside my mouth and eat the blast. Envision my face in days gone past. Speak of how I died young and lived too fast. If I'd of only had a break from all this pain. Or maybe sunshine in my life instead of rain. Along life's rocky road I tried to find my way. But by mistake I chose the road that led astray. If you'd of held my hand and walked me down the path. I may have cracked a smile and waltzed along the grass. But as my time slipped by like sands which slip through glass. I squeezed your hand but you pulled and broke our grasp. I know I failed at many things I often tried. And most of those who pledged their love for me have lied. I need a break from all this pain which dwells inside. But when you're running from yourself where can you hide?

It is better to have tried than never tried at anything in life including love..Of course, sometimes what is called love is not love at all..Enjoyed reading your work which seems to have come from a depressed heart..I hope that today brings a ray of sunshine..This could also be called couplets..Sara
