Flames of Fires Fade

Ran Away

You asked me to stay

But I couldn't decide

Do I go with my own judgment

Or put it all aside

I'm running from the past

All these painful memories

Shoved them in the back

So they can never haunt me

Seeing the faces that I once knew

Is seeing all the tears that fell before I flew

I wonder if that day

I made the right decision

I had to run away

I wasn't strong enough to stay

Leaving was so easy

But tears streamed down my face

I didn't know that I would ever feel this way

You asked me why I couldn't

Go with you that day

I just said that I couldn't

But I never answered why

The past that made me broken

And who I am today

I overcame it once

So I don't want to face it

I'm never going back

They don't deserve to see my smile

And to this very day

I won't show them my own face

I often ask myself

How weak can I be

To never look back

Because you're scared of what you'll see

I ran away that day because

I'm afraid that they'll just see

The little girl that they don't know

And judge me accordingly

I know I shouldn't listen

To what they have to say

But it's hard to not listen

When the scars still remain

You called me a child

And I didn't disagree

I guess I still have a lot to grow

But I'm slowly coming to it

And I don't know if I'll ever be

Able to show my face

Going back to what I knew

To show them the new me

But I don't regret my decision

And that I ran away

I'm allowed to be scared

Of something in my life

So maybe this is what I chose

That I can never face

But I don't have to prove myself

To you anyways

So yes that's my decision

To leave and not stay

You can take it as you want

And say I ran away
