Runaway

See me running,
see me falling
on my way to nothing,
leaving everything behind
in search of something
I can’t seem to find.
Running scared when darkness falls,
I flee behind my empty walls
and all through life’s daily play
I force myself to fake and hide
behind my smiles during the day
and behind my tears during the night.
Through sleepless nights
I’ve walked alone
I’ve walked with fear
the road unknown.
And should you understand when
you’d see the tears I weep
hold me
just hold me then
and let me go to sleep.
