Runaway

I think...

I think I'd like to runaway

And be a runaway

As long as it's with you.

Otherwise I wouldn't even

Last a single day.

Let's just leave our lives

And forget

About this aching pain.
Let's toss out all our troubles

And find some odd adventure

In forests and on mountain peaks.

I think...

I think it'd be enough-

You and me and God

And our conversations

And our own creations.

I don't think 

Anything could make me come right back

To what my life was like before.

I don't think 

I could bear this loneliness again

Or never seeing that face of yours

Or hearing what you have to say

To make the darkness lighten every day.

I think...

I think I'd stay a runaway

Because if I could just

Pack my bags and go,

I might outrun 

My loneliness and

My disappointment

And find some place

That's quiet to stay

Until my mind is silent.

I think...

I think it'd only work

If you were there with me.

Hey guys, I didn't intend on taking a two week break from blogging, but my brother and his family came to visit (which meant I met my nephew for the very first time!! He's just the sweetest little guy <3), and everything fell by the wayside. I have some other types of posts in the works, but for now, as I catch back up, I thought I'd post more poetry. 

I hope all of you are doing well! What's been happening in your lives?
