The heart tends to contradict itself.

Sometimes I just want to run

As far as my legs will take me

Just want to go

As far away as I can

Take a car and drive

Until I meet the ocean

Wave back as it waves to me

Take a boat and sail

Until I meet new land

Dock the boat

And change my name

Start all over

Start a new life

Get amnesia

Forget the past

And the pain it brought…

And other times Idon’t want to go

Anywhere but here

Let your kiss be the death of me

Your arms —

My grave.

Sometimes I want to

Punch you

Kick you

Send you away

Oh, but please leave

I’d miss you too much

I need you too much

    I’d like to run away and get amnesia at times also. I know the feeling.
