Story of my life

Our love was volatile and weird.
all i thought as i hopped the grayhound was,
"get me the f*** outa here."
i ran...
i ran away from you.
packed my tears and all my fears.
i had nothing better to do.
Mommy,
mommy, i know you know the truth.
i'm sorry that you're heartbroken.
now, all i am is missing you.
and, when i left
i dropped a trail of candy hearts,
hoping you would wait for me...
i just want, to come home tonight.
this is the story of my life.
One week,
shouldn't have even been one day.
i am calling from a payphone,
twenty three hundred miles away.
bad things i can not even say.
if not for the kindess of strangers,
i would not be alive today.
Mommy,
mommy, i know you know the truth.
i'm sorry that you're heartbroken.
now, all i am is missing you.
and, when i left
i dropped a trail of candy hearts,
hoping you would search for me...
i just want, to come home tonight.
this is the story of my life.
