Bride On The Run By Gio Masserati Poem by Gio Masserati

I've been engaged
more than a few times
friends have called me
runaway bride

I don't enjoy leaving
or running away
my heels just start stepping
the opposite way

I'm sure this is chronic
I've been to counseling
the fears of my childhood
have shaped and follow me

I try...oh! I've tried
to make me commit
I've always found a reason
to run out of there and split

it's sad, but, you know
I have no past regret
always wanting confirmation
instead thine heart would not let

until fair recently
I met a man I hope I might
whom faith flashed by
an angelic vision of sight

this mighty man alone with me
just once touched thee
then I could forever see
just who thy heart says him to be

never wanting any less
with such intense precision
for it was then my love
made it's lifelong decision

for thy love has waited
many days with out none
to be with my forever one
who is he
