Runaway, Girl

You have a way of making me 
feel wanted, but not needed. 
Every warning and swear I threw, 
you never had heeded. 
And I said, back up. 
You're in my way. 
I want something real 
and this is fake. 

You plant the thoughts in my head. 
What if? Why not? 
Forget common sense. 
Your enticing games and playful banter, captivating gaze won't stop me. Can't ya quit, no? So runaway girl. 

As soon as you found me, 
sought me in the empty parking lot, 
You must've decided I could be 
your queen, I'd play the part. 
But I said, hold on. 
I don't play chess. 
This won't change a thing. 
So, be on your best. 

Here we go again. 
It's been a few months. 
You're in this rut again,
Lonely, desperate for a friend. 
Throw out the rule books, 
You never did follow them.

Heartbreak is War...

I hear sirens. 
I think they're for my heart. 
They know its breaking,
They know it's coming apart. 

I hope the ambulance can find me
Before the attack. 
I hope I'm reachable 
Before everything goes black. 

And they get closer,
Maybe I will be saved. 
But glass has to shatter
When screams are made. 

They've stopped for me,
Bringing oxygen and revivers. 
Heartbreak is war...
I just hope I'm a survivor.
