My heart races,

A thousand thoughts consume my mind,

I see stars,

My head pounding,

How long have I been running?

How far have I gone?

The void in my heart aches to be filled by you,

My strength is waxing thin,

I'm covered in sweat,

Tired of wasting my energy,

Tired of leaving you and returning again,

Only to leave again and feel the same,

Why do you stay?

All I've done is hurt you by leaving,

Trying to do things on my own,

I've searched for answers elsewhere,

But I've read your word so I should've known,

There's nothing outside of you that satisfies me,

No matter what I do I end up coming back to you,

Why can't I stay?

Why do I run?

Why do I fear?

You've always been there,

I fear because I've been hurt,

I run because I'm scared of where you'll take me,

I've felt alone so much,

I struggle to be around you,

And others who love me too,

Only you can heal me,

I know that's true,

yet I'm afraid to let you,

I've found comfort in running,

Peace in turmoil,

Yet I'm not truly at peace,

Trying to outrun my thoughts every day,

Trying to outrun your will for my life,

But enough is eno0ugh,

I'm tired and worn,

I've ran away from you many times,

But you welcome me home,

This time I'll surrender,

I'll hold your outstretched hand,

We'll do life together,

And have the greatest end.
