We ran together as children

probably my favorite piece I have ever written

We ran together as children

With our hearts tied with string

We sang in the meadows

In the early days of spring

With our god given laughter

And our eyes wide and bright

We danced on the hills

Until the day turned to night

 

Soon our souls were torn apart

And our wings pinned to our backs

As we went our separate ways

Forced not to look back

I went home

And you went to hell

The day we left each other's side

For how long time wouldn’t tell

 

Days became years

And memories drifted away

Warm summers behind

And presented with pain

Time took its toile

On childish souls

As we turned into age

And became our family names

 

I into wealth

You into poverty

Nothing to show

Nothing to tell

Beaten and abused

Till blinded in sight

Required and expected

till it is done right

 

dreams of days of long ago ways

freed my gaze of predicted plays

I ran to search for the childhood friend

and begin a new, hand in hand

long had it been since I had seen you last

I had grown so quick died so fast

I’d never give up till you were again mine

And I soared the sky waiting for our time

 

I found you one day

Curled up in the dark

Your wings pulled off

And your eyes sown shut

You were cold and quite

As I took your hand in mine

And pulled you to a place

Where at last no one could find
