I Ran To the Mountains
Beaten and battered I ran to the mountains,
I didn’t see pretty scenery or flowing fountains-
All I saw was lack of forgiveness without grace,
as I remember the look you smeared on your face.
Torrential downpours ruined our wedding day,
lack of love was probably why I didn’t stay-
I’ve raced your horses and ended up in the stable,
but completely loving you I was never able.
“RUN FAST!”, and never look back mamma told me,
I should’ve listened but I wanted to feel free-
“Please no more chains!” they leave me constricted,
I’ve lived a life so lost and contradicted.
Loss is the reason I have never loved deep,
pain and sorrow is the reason I never sleep-
Promises broken as I close my eyes the last time,
the mountains didn’t save me, you were never mine.
