Running a marathon,
It takes a toll
On your whole body,
But mainly your heart.

It tries to keep beating,
It struggles on,
But it's a hard battle
That's not easily won.

Your mind also struggles,
Against all the doubt,
To keep you moving,
Though you don't know how.

Ignore the pain
As best you can,
Keep on going,
Follow the plan.

I dug through that rubble
And found you there,
Crushed with the debris
Tangled in your hair.

I panicked and my heart
Started the marathon.
Battling and struggling,
I tried to get the job done.

I did my best to help you,
Now I think you're okay.
But my dear Sky,
Don't make me run again.
