The Runner from The Runner by Anna Coddington

the more I love to be on my own

running on the feeling that just around the corner
is the pay off for all of the hell I went through for ya
I’ve wasted love throwing my heart at a lost cause
and all because it seemed easier
but I kept running and the further that I got
the more I realized that it’s not
