Best Running Away Poems


Running Away
dealing with too much worry
never any good news
I'm thinking of running away
running back to you

I need someone to hold me
a different point of view
I'm thinking of running away
running back to you

I need a tower of strength
from these times that leave me blue
I'm thinking of running...

Running Away
Packing bags and leaving home 

Running into the darkness of 
night like a criminal

No destination

Just an escape into freedom 
from the nightmare

Just feeling the sunlight’s breath 
on my cheek freely

A winds whisper touching my 
ears

Running away from dreams and 
wishes

Setting an adventure of a 
lifetime

Running...

Running Away
The blood in my veins freeze, 
the breath in my chest comes to a rapid halt, 
the atmosphere changes, 
I am made of stone - and I run. 

I run as fast as I possibly can; 
away from the possibilities he lies out before me....

Running Away
Tendencies intensify
To end a life that's full of lies
Without a thought was forced to hide
Sick and tired to win the prize

Burdens weighed down
Patience submerged
Determination disappears
Given up the war inside
Thinking its the end of the line

A place to survive is not what we see
Its in the...

When your heartbeats drum their message of love.
My heart soars like the birds flying above.
As flashing thunder streaks across dark skies,
I will come swiftly, believe not their lies.

If any would stop me, my rage I’ll display.
Nothing or no one will stand in my way.
True love...

we ran away 
each riding on our tricycle.... 
switched all the way home 

privet hedge limbs  
have so many uses.... 
red streaks on my legs 

the ride back home 
took so much longer.... 
crying and pedaling ...

Premium Member Running Away From Hibernating Ren
Why is it
as I watch The International CEO Actor
unilaterally Ordering disinvestment
in both domestic and Earth's cooperative-organic health,
I feel cold harsh January snowblow storms?

Dismaying cold
calling me toward hibernating silo of unencumbered sleep,
possibly to dream of sequestering unpaid taxes
to invest, instead,
in WinWin EcoPolitical Cooperative Ownership
for Health-As-Wealth EcoRegional...

Tired of Running Away
You were born to run,
so you ran
You were raised not to get close,
so you kept your distance
Love was an emotion of little value to you,
discarded easily like yesterday news
You were so good at reading those soft hearts,
where to go for the most vulnerable parts
Feeding on...

I'M Not Running Away
If you have those doubts
Then let me take it away
If you have those fears
Let me hold you tight
I’m not running away…
I’m not running away…

My heart does always tell
We are meant for each other
Don’t want to go somewhere
Without you at my side
I’m not running away…
I’m not...

Premium Member Running Away In Her Dreams
Do you ever think of getting into your RV and heading west and never looking back? I ask my friend.
Her life is a series of woes, and misbegottens, have-tos, and never-wases.  Drama, at full tilt.
Every time I see her she has a flat tire,...

I’m running away
to unearth consolation. 
My knees - my bindle,
carried to the ground.

To unearth consolation,
I’ve traveled so far, so near.
Carried to the ground -
all my trepidation and loss.

I’ve traveled, so far, so near
to the presence of Christ.
All my trepidation and loss
laid down at the foot...

Running Away For Love
This could change my life.
He knows all i want is to be his wife.
I'm so ready to be gone,
I'm so sick of feeling alone
Should i stay or should i go?
I ask my best friend and she says "hell no"
Its not like I'll be gone forever
Only...

Running Away From Mariposa
Standing in the meadow 
Looking up at old Half Dome 
Watching deer meandering 
Across the front porch of their home. 

So many years ago 
When the Indians still were there 
And the great Winona redwood 
Could be driven through if you dare

The times were so...

I wanted to see your face, but all i saw was fog. 
I wanted to hold you tight but i didnt know where you were

I looked to the east,...
