Know When to Run
Drawn to the flame
Your heart fire pulls me in
Battles the same
Neither can truly win
Addictive kiss
Your mouth as one with mine
A firework’s hiss
Explodes failures divine
Persistent itch
In that persistent spot
Followed by twitch
Emotional buckshot
Repeated words
Of love valiant and true
Are for the birds
There is no love in you
Why I return
Blind to history’s pain
Looking for love
When dry has run the vein
Please walk away
Merry-go-round be done
The other way
Choose I to quickly run

Leaving at the right time prevents a lot of pain and distress.and keeps the perception of the relationship being good alive…
So true, the hard part is knowing when to leave. Thank you for your comment!
like Kenny Rogers said:
“You got to know when to hold ’em,
Know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away,
And know when to run.”
well done, Brad.
Lyrical genius! Thanks Jim!
