RELATIONSHIP Poem by Patrick Franzen

Runnion ran
Through my mind
Last night I couldn’t find
An answer why
We had to die

Runnion ran
Away from me
‘Twas a mystery
At the time
Hitherto she was so kind

Runnion ran
An arrow through my heart
But I did not start
To notice the array
Of damage until today

Runnion ran
Years ago
Why did I not know
She was the one
And not the other that made me undone

Runnion ran
To my side
The day the music died
And let me confide
What I tried to hide

Runnion ran
Her fingers through my hands
Seeming my only friend
She had showed
What the other never knowed

Runnion ran
My spirits high
Showed me a light
In my darkest day
Made me not afraid

Runnion ran
From my gratitude
Suppose I acted rude
Not know exactly how to
Say thank you
