Keep Running

I keep running away from you

From the feeling of pain

You know you what you did

And it’s driving me insane

 

I keep running to hide my tears

Frightened that someone will see

The internal anguish

I just want to be free

 

I keep running to the unknown

Hoping to change my life

Forget all the past

All the trouble and all the strife

 

I keep running out of my mind

Trying to move on

Slowly moving forward

Won’t be happy until you’re gone

A Soldier’s Distant Love

I know you made the choice

We knew it would be hard

But how I long to hear your voice

A phone call you are barred

 

How I miss the simple things

Like walking hand in hand

Pulling on my heart strings

Know one understands

 

A letter through the post

Is all that I receive

Two weeks seems longer than most

Your love is all I need

 

Fighting for our freedoms

Is a job you have to do

Fighting against the demons

A penance they are due

 

I want you back here and now

Is my selfishness wrong?

If there is an easy way, how?

My love will forever be strong
