Run, World, Run...
By Amelia E. Marcum
My friend Amelia wrote this poem a long, long time ago, during a period of sad reflection. She has also published it on her website, but you can enjoy it here.
Run, World, Run
Keep on breathing...
Keep on living...
Don't let the chains of a selfish heart betray you.
Don't let the lies of so many children mislead you.
I know your heart's cry...
Please let me by your side.
I should take you by the hand and be your friend.
And you should not feel pain ever again.
For I would love you with my whole heart.
I would not hold back a Single part.
I would love your heart and your soul.
I would love you because you make me feel whole.
I would not look at your skin- only your eyes.
To see what is hidden so deep down inside.
And then I would sigh for life is complete.
For we are one- lovers and friends for eternity.
Keep on breathing...
Keep on living...
Don't let the chains of a selfish heart betray you.
Don't let the lies of so many children mislead you.
I know your heart's cry...
Please let me by your side.
I should take you by the hand and be your friend.
And you should not feel pain ever again.
For I would love you with my whole heart.
I would not hold back a Single part.
I would love your heart and your soul.
I would love you because you make me feel whole.
I would not look at your skin- only your eyes.
To see what is hidden so deep down inside.
And then I would sigh for life is complete.
For we are one- lovers and friends for eternity.
