Run

The tears burning down my cheeks,

With the fear buckling my knees,

I’ve never known what you are to me,

But slipping in and out of my memories,

The love I felt I couldn’t believe,

And now I’m finding my destiny,

To live, laugh, love, hate and die young,

Urge me on with your sauntering tongue,

Burn my heels with your shadowy skills,

I whisper “I love you” as I run,

Never knowing  when you’re going to be done,

The fire of your voice ringing in my head,

With you right now I should be dead,

Why can’t I die? The time for me is thriving.

I ran for a millennia, for minutes, for seconds,

But I run because the time will eventually end.

My love for you thrives too much to apprehend,

It’s pushing me on through the bushes,

All scratching and tearing,

I only need to get away from the searing,

I tip my head back and scream,

“I shouldn’t of come back from that dream”

“I came back only because the beautiful scene”

Your eyes burning that’s what I should of seen.
I let the embers run down my cheeks,

I push out of the bushes and into the field,

Now there is nothing to be my shield,

The anger you feel pulsing on my back,

I reached a cliff and I’m standing slack,

There is no place to run or roll away,

I’ve reached the end, the end of today,

I prepared to lead and then a scream,

“I love you, will you come back to me?”

I rack up my courage and turn around,

I pace back to where you can be found,

I put my hand into yours and we are bound.

“Yes my love, forever let the bells sound.”

My words fail me once again,

And now I’m  running the path I’ve lain,

The forest once again burdened with flame,

The burning pulse at my heels,

Once again I push out of the leaves.

And into the field its down to this,

I reach the cliff and hear you scream,

But  this time death is what I need,

I jump with a scream,

“I love you”

The last words he heard,

I hit the water and there I lay,

Until the end and until my body decays.

Great poem, fantastic imagery, I found some of the lines made the flow of the poem a little choppy, but at the same time it adds to the mood of the poem :) overall great concept and a great poem :)
