I ran,
With total abandon,
The road beyond me long as ever.
I left many behind me,
Trying to catch the ones beyond me,
Giving the run all my heart.
But now,
Stoping to drink,
I see myself in the water.
And my eyes,
They are dead; lifeless and hopeless.
Life has left me and gone away.
Haste makes waste.
So, I left the race,
Searching for the life that I drove away.
