I am running


I am running, Forever it seems, From a past I am running from memories Memories that cause pain Memories that I wish had never happened I am running from mistakes From the sight of you A sight that takes me back to places we've been I am running from that bench we shared, that place we shared I am running from the things you said I am running from the constant torture The things I said, The feeling of your hand in mine And I’m getting tired But I am still running I am running Until I find peace Until the memories no longer hurt I am running To comfort To a place where I can forgive To a place where I can forget I am running I am running to Him.

<p>By Him do you mean God? Because if so, I agree. Love this poem. I've been working out a lot lately to try and forget an ex boyfriend, so I took this awesome poem quite literally!</p>
