Running

Running
Away from this life
Past the darkness
To a better place

Running
To find the peace I never had
Explore the world
To feel loved

Running
To find my inner self
The personality I have never found
Deep inside my bones

Running
To forgive
To forget
To stay alive


Running
As fast as I have ever ran before
As far as I can go
Don't look back
Just keep running

My Emma

There she was

So precious and beautiful

Eyes as deep as the ocean blue

A spirit as sweet as a flower

On a bright day

I have been waiting 9 months for this moment

I would name her Emma

My baby

All mine

Holding her in my arms

I felt like a mother

For the first time

We had a bond like no other

My little Emma

She turned so cold

She didn’t make a sound

The nurse took her out of my arms

Away with my Emma

The nurse came back

Without my Emma

Tears rolling down her face

She didn’t have to tell me

I knew

I would not take her home

I could not hold her in my arms any longer

She would not grow up and marry the man she loved

And have children of her own

She is gone

Forever and ever

Never to return into my arms

My baby

My Emma
