Has Your Heart Ever Hurt?

Have you ever sat on your carpet,
Knees to your chest,
Next to the closet,
Beneath the ceiling, the stars, the thoughts,
Crying and crying and crying your eyes away?

Have you ever been so sad you wanted to run
And run and run,
Even if you're not a runner,
Because your heart hurts when you run,
But it gets you places,
Anywhere but here.

Have you ever been so sad you wanted to run
So far, no matter if it's
Hot or cold,
Raining,
Snowing,
Storming,
The sun is painting the trees,
Or the moon is hiding behind the clouds?

Have you ever wanted to leave the house,
In your bare feet,
Your pink shorts,
A necklace no one sees but cost you ten dollars,
The hair nobody cares about but cost you half an hour,
The makeup that everybody wears but cost you a fortune?

Have you ever sat on your carpet,
And been so sad that you wanted to run
To Toledo, to Texas, to England, to Spain
Just so you could stop hurting?

It hurts it hurts it hurts.
