Run & Don't Look Back."-by Chris Bright & Matthew F. Blowers III


Listen Later

"Run and don't look back.
When love withers
and no nurturing can
allow re-growth
when evenings are
completely spent
before night even falls
when snoring replaces
pillow talk
and a warm bath
starts to look really good
when the television
takes priority.
and interruptions
of any show
draw wrath
when small mistakes
became monumental.
when kisses are
a tight lipped
turning away too soon
when all approaches
are detoured.
when sighs are
like a voice choir
in the rafters of your house
when panties are just laundry
when "I love you's"
are spoken and the silence
remains unbroken
when tears are dried up
and no more can be coaxed
when your heart
is a raisin
in the glare of
his or her
heated glances
when sex becomes only
the first part
of sex-tuplets
and seven has been
four for far too long
and not ever long enough
when hard means attitude
and cuddling is some
time with your puppy
when kind words are only heard
on the telephone
to someone else
when loneliness sits on you
and the weight of it
crushes all hope
when you asked and pleaded
and begged ..and cursed
and ranted and screamed
and the stone face of the
latest edition
to Mt. Rushmore
gazes into space
when you realize it
has evaporated like
the perfume she used
to wear for you
when life is one long
dreary event that rears
it's ugly head daily
Run ...beat feet....
hit the bricks
give it up...take only
what you can carry
and don't look back
no documentation of
love's death
no long sad goodbyes
love leaves just as harshly
and those that stay around
get ground up in the
details of why??
run ...don't ponder
get as far away as you can
start over
start anew
it never happened
she/he never was
there's a whole world
of people who ran
out there
looking for someone to run with
get some Nikes
and jog your memory
for some pick up lines
and enjoy a few laps
whether fleshy
or asphalt
run....and don't
look back...: )
You've gotta run
and don't look back
Love that's broken
has no encore
forevermore.
