Run Away

Bess Goldstein
Apr 3, 2019
1 min read

Baby, what’s the hurry?

Why run away so fast?

You ran to her so quickly

I know that love will never last

Remember not to rush yourself

To close to all the stars

Bright but never really with you

They’ll never give you love like ours

Where did you go?

I should know, I mean why

Did you want to fly so very close

To the sky?

The stars will not keep you safe

For very long

For they all die

By the end of the night

And when the sun comes back

On my end I will be

So much better knowing

That I’m truly happy

But I know whenever my sky

Sheds light

I know you’ll be loving her

In your night sky.

About The "Author"

I was born and raised in central New Jersey-- lovely, I know-- as a Quaker/Jewish child hybrid. I grew up with a love for reading and writing (as my dad was an English major). I lived and attended school in NJ until my sophomore year. I transitioned into a boarding school in Pennslyvania, where my passion for writing, art, performing, ACTIVISM, and (of course) poetry, flourished.

In my writing, you're going to find me. Whether that be my struggles, my thoughts, my stories, my successes, it really depends on what you decide to read. Feel free to contact me any time for questions or even just a conversation about stuff. Happy reading!
