Just Run

Oh how easy it would be to just run

No not for fun

Just to run

How easy would it be to say I'm done

Just run

You fight, argue, and cannot see

Your daughter is huddled in the corner

She is nothing more but a mourner

She's losing but needs to be stronger

Please don't make this night any longer

Just run

No not for fun

Just run

She'll walk out the door

Instead of being on the floor

Do this

Do that

So many chores

Whats that

You're getting fat

What a attention seeking whore

Just run

No not for fun

Just run

She covers her ears

No she doesn't want to hear

The cruel words from her father

Toward her innocent mother

Just run

No not for fun

Just run

Going out again

To the bar

Hop in the car

What a fun time we are having

Is this real,

Can your heart finally feel?

Do not run

Unless for fun

But do not run

Heres my favorite part

We get home there is no heart

You drink and drink,

But do you even think?

Words out of your mouth

Shouldn't have been said

Running through your daughters head

Just run

No not for fun

Just run

Dad's arguing with mom

Yet another exploded bomb

They could never just stay calm

Rose petals in your daughter's palm

Just run

No not for fun

Just run

He loves me;

He loves me not

What a never ending thought

In a spider web she is caught

Just run

No not for fun

Just run

All the love that once has last

Is all but thrown in the past

Tears are streaming

She is heaving

Cover your ears

Get away from your fears

Her thoughts are just too loud

Words put in her head

Will only stop when she is dead

Can't think

Hardly speak

Another shriek

Turn the other cheek

Hair in a bun

Tears are none

She is done

Get up and run

Out the door

Feel the sun

Just Run.
