How I Long to Leave
February 25, 2014
Alone – oh how I long for you.
Alone, away from this place.
In the mountains, to wake to the dew
glistenin’ on the leaves.
How I wait for this day to leave this place.
To be secluded, away from the world;
Away from the noise, away from the hurt.
To be away… just away.
Away, on a beach while the waves whirl.
To be away… just away
Sequestered, in a loft overlooking Boston.
I long to be there.
Alone in Boston.
Away from this place, away from it all
I long to be done here and be on my own.
