Letters to Ghosts of the Past

Running From The Storm

To the one I can't remember anymore,

I'm running fast
Don't hold your breath
You're not the last
It's sudden death.

I never trust those who stay,
I envy those who walk away.

I don't know how to be who you want
I'll never be enough.
I'm the kind that will never haunt
The ones who had it rough.

To you, I'm just another scar
You'll never see these tears.
I know you'll never see this far
But you know all my fears.

Sometimes I think that you don't care.
When I need it most, you're never there.

I used to tell you everything, now we barely say hello.
You used to be my angel wings, now I'm falling into the unknown.

Darkness is no stranger
And living isn't fair.
I remember all we were
The memories we share.

But those will go away
You'll forget about me one day.
The pictures won't, those people will
Everything is standing still.

It's raining.
I'm running.
I can't see.
Are you coming?

Take my hand, or leave me now.
No more games, here's my last bow.

We had a good run,
But you ran away.
You weren't the one.
And that's okay.

I'm convincing myself of all that's true.
That's familiar to me, I did it with you.

Trust is essential
And we had potential
But love always fades
No one really stays.

So what now, I wonder,
And we watch watch the rain and thunder.
This storm won't go away
Until one of us caves.

Are you ready to go?
You already know
I won't walk away
But you shouldn't stay.

Though fears will haunt me,
This is what's best.
I'll let your hand free
You enjoy the rest.
