Running Away

Running away with my imagination
Every thought that's in my head
No turning away from my heart
My journey not complete

Severed ties were given
Romantic farewell was what I wished
I chose to take the latter
So you'd be set free

Going on an adventure
You want to find yourself
I had to disconnect
It was what you were needing

Regret our final moments
Of course, I always will
But you were more important
So I gave this gift to you

I wonder what you think of me
Or if you think of me at all
Did you realize what I had done
Or misconceive and turn to hate

I'll forever ponder of this
If I made you despise me
I hope that you caught on
I wanted you to fly

Will you remember me
As each day passes by
Or am I forgotten, removed
Completely from your heart

Am I now dead to you
A question I quite often ask
From this place that I am trapped
The place that keeps pulling me in

I'll continue on without you
Even though it causes pain
Keeping Faith that I had mattered
And you will forever carry me

I want you to know how hard it was
For me to walk away from you
I would have joined, if you had asked
But I knew that you were still lost

Confused and so conflicted
Tired out and stressed
"I want to do it on my own"
You once said to me

Your life, not what you expected
Looking for a chance to escape
You'd found your ticket out
Meaning we would have to part

So I did the only thing I knew
And that was to set you free
Now I wonder what you're thinking
And what you're thinking about me

Scenarios pop in and out
My mind running away
I guess that is because
When you left, you took my heart

I would have given you the world
In fact, this still holds true
May you find what you were looking for
Enjoy the person that you become

And again, I'll sit here pondering
Just like I always do
Wondering what you think about me
Chasing the memories of you

A nice play on the title. While you are running away it is planned and calculated so that the other may be spared; that the other may be left to find what is sought. It is a sad journey and goodbyes are never easy, even if they are spoken out of love and the need to give. Great piece Leviathus.

This is quite descriptive in the true sense of the word. Soothing, gentle images and wonderful language. Rhyme-less, yet it reads like it rhymes because of the ultra-smooth flow. I'm impressed by your ability to make the real and faery worlds merge together.

A stunning piece of writing!
