Pursuit

​This is a poem I wrote in 2015. I imagine all of my poetry set to music but I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. This one I imagine set to the tune of Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones.

​You tire of waiting
For him to text first
You keep on chasing
Even when it hurts
They all believe you
When you say that you're fine
But what is this longing
I see in your eyes?

If you keep chasing
Well, I'll guess I'll run with you
Please stop running
And let me catch you

You wanted someone
To think about you
To make you happy
And to not make you blue
It's not everything
You thought it'd be
They've all got someone
Except you and me

If you keep chasing
Well, I guess I'll run with you
Please stop running
And let me catch you

They said they loved you
But they showed the truth
You were nothing
But a convenient tool
You do the best
With the cards that you're dealt
You say you're happy
While your eyes scream for help

If you keep chasing
Well, I guess I'll run with you
Please stop running
And let me catch you
