Running Pains

I miss running

I miss the beating in my chest

I miss the constant pressure

To put my body to the test

I miss putting on my shoes

And running out every single stress

I miss the whipping of the wind

But now my body can do less

Every time I go to run

There's a pounding in my head

I may be able to ignore it while I run

But after I'm stuck for hours in bed

I miss the fact that three years ago

I could run whenever I please

But now if I want to go run

I'm tortured by a disease

So here's goodbye to the skill I lost

I write about it instead

And I keep the feeling of when I ran

As a memory in my head
