I couldn't get away from you,
your whispers haunt me to this day.
I was running as fast and far as I could,
while you were begging me to stay.
The hurt and anguish that I harbor,
from all the things that you've done.
As I push the pedal to the floor; wanting more,
from this living on the run.
You were the devil in a sundress,
a flower that could kill.
Even after all this pain,
somehow I love you still.
Your words never leave me,
they linger like perfume.
Your voice still somehow beckons me,
as I move from room to room.
I wanted something different,
something tangible and real.
I wanted beach side sunsets,
a love that you could feel.
Instead I'm struggle for my life,
everyday I go to war.
Day and night I somehow fight,
to even out the score.
I want a new tomorrow,
that never seems to come.
The ghost of you still follows closely,
no matter how fast and far I run....
