The runner
I know you’re scared, petrified
I’ve seen the real you, what you’ve struggled to hide
Your potential is unending, unlimited, pure
Of this ultimate certainty, I am eternally sure
I will not try to fix you, not calm your storm
Just see I am here for you, always, your mirror form
You don’t have to run from me, not anymore
I won’t pursue, but I’ll never shut the door
When I first met you, I immediately understood
That there was no one else like you, so sweet and good
So many demons to battle, so many fighters to face
I know you’ll get through this, transform trauma to grace
You’re doing the inner work, the balance is coming
I feel this in the heart of my core, a runner evolving
Observing this from afar, we stay connected through soul
My inner work matches yours, we’re both becoming whole
I chased out of ego, I chased out of pain
Abandonment, nerves, anxiety and shame
Only you could drive this junk out of me
Only you could set my heart free
My brain does not comprehend this endless strife
But my heart is certain I’ve chosen you for life
Because of you, I’ve learned life’s greatest lesson
Unconditional love for myself and you, endless compassion
