Never Going To Run

Never going to run

I’ll never look away

Never going to plead

You’ll never make me beg

Never make me say

Please release me from your

gaze

All the gasoline

Was dripping from my hands

While holding in my teeth

Yet another stricken match

Was all I could do

Standing still

Not to look away

From the flames

Where my eyes

Will remain

Just like the wind

Was chasing grains of sand

All fallen from your grasp

Keep blowing into glass

Back into your

Your hands

Hold to your lips

The pouring rain

Straight to your mouth

Where it must pour

Down once again

Just the other day

I heard the calling of a loon

From the center of a lake

The creation of a wish

Wrapping its own wings

Around the sound

Of its own voice

The only one that I hear

But never seem to find

Even when I look

But I always keep in mind

If he should come

I’ll be waiting when he arrives

And when he comes

You know that I

Am never going to run

Burst through the silence

Come crashing through my

Eyes

The broken windows

Have let the wind inside

Be expecting violence

When the day arrives

He’s going to cast

His light on me
