Angela Crabtree Poet Couplet

The Runner and I

There was a little boy so blue
amongst the pain of life he grew

He wondered where he'd be one day
so Satan helped to lead the way

He longed to walk home in the sun
but evil forces made him run

The Fallen Angel's sick revenge
was to employ children to avenge

He made those bullies cruel
"persecute this child to - and - from school"

No one to trust to teach him well
so evil led his pride to swell

There was a little girl as well
who grew up in a different hell

She was abandoned by her mom
her life was anything but calm

She was adopted by a rigid pair
but she longed for love and truth to share

Nobody seemed to fit the mold
consumed with lies that she was told

Satan also grabbed this chance
she ran through life without a glance

A player she could not commit
her soul-mate had to be legit

Now he's my husband I am his wife
I finally took that chance in life

For I was ready to forgive
but he had never learned to live

How ironic that these two should meet
I'm ready to ground he runs in defeat

Now here I sit back at the start
while my "soul-mate's" going to break my heart

He's still a runner and I'm here to stay
two people can't grow if one is this way

He promised his soul to me
but I am still one in this unity
