Not again
December 21, 2023 at 6:30 PM
It started off so lovely,
We didn’t have a plan,
We were on an adventure and
That’s where it was made plain:
You loved me with your whole heart,
I loved you just as much,
We ran off, got away from trouble,
We stayed low so we could laugh.
Every day I made you breakfast,
You hugged me from behind,
We were so happy for so long that
That happiness made us go blind.
They found us, they were after us again,
We had to go our separate ways and run,
You promised we would meet up again soon,
But it never went as planned.
I ran for three years,
I was beginning to forget
The awful things they made us two go through,
I felt the tears that were running down my face:
We did not know what fate we would get.
I ran for three years,
We ran before that point for five,
We tried to hide but they found us anyway,
We only met back up when they were gone,
The war was won, but I was still afraid.
You said that you still loved me,
You held onto my hand,
But suddenly, again they were here
And they said we should stay friends;
You turned around to argue,
And while I could, I ran,
I’m sorry, love, I’m sorry,
I can’t do this,
Not again.
