so that was your solution?
just turn your back
and run like hell?
from all of your problems
from all of your mistakes
from the truth
from your world
reality
from your life.
and you thought, what,
you'd run?
until time ran out?
until the end of the world?
when at that instance when all of your problems vanish
you take a look over your shoulder
to see what you left behind
and then its too late
b/c you left it all
in a fit of emotion
without thinking
and what do you see?
nothing. a lack. blackness, darkness, whatever you want to call it.
it just isnt there
and you took for granted
all of those who cared
those who cared enough to stand up and give a shit
after everyone else looked the other way
you pushed away the only ones
who cared.
and after time they become weary
you can only love without return for so long
and you think an apology and a smile will make it all go away?
the things that burn into our memories are those same things that hurt the worst.
and you did just that
and i had no other choice
than to turn and walk away from you.
i wont say you caused it
(even though you did)
because i know you have enough shit to deal with.
but remember you're not the only one
with problems to deal with
with shit to figure out.
we're only human
and asking for help isnt the end of the world.
i would have walked to the end of the world and back
if you had asked me to
but instead you turn and ran
and as you disappear in the distance
i realize that i saw it coming
and i should have known
but i thought if i held on just a bit longer
maybe i'd make the world shine enough for you
just to stay another day

i have a tendency to run from my problems also. its easier to run from them at times, than to face them head on. i'm the kind of person who will shut up just to keep the peace, or if something really hurts me, i have strange ways of dealing with it (mostly i just come here and write and write)... but usually i will hold it in, and pretend the problems dont exist. what you said at the end of your poem, i used to have someone like that in my life, that would give me just a glimmer of hope when the rest of my day was black and dismal... i dont know where i lost him.
really beautiful. thanks for sharing.

Hey, there is always the other side of things: perspectives, views, whatever. Gray-sky times are the feelings here, for this cathardic venting of a truth long ago unraveled. No other mind is your own, to prod, poke, or dissect. No guise is anything but. You are you, always: here or there, near or far, on this or the other side.
