Runaway

 

This time, no one cares until you’re gone.

Can someone take me home? 

I wanted to feel the earth—it's midnight, 

The moon shines unusually bright.

Closing my eyes, it turns pitch black. 

It gets darker with every step I take. 

In the lonely night, tears flow, 

Falling softly from left eye to right.

Breathe out, breathe in— I cried. 

Walking, then running, Wishing it was heaven.

I ran away, unseen, unknown, 

Into the woods where trees hum— La... di... da...

Opening my eyes, the water’s crystal clear, 

As I recall your face, my dear. 

At the edge, I stood, 

Rocks, silent waterfalls—they were watching.

I ran back, pleading, 

“Please, Lord, take me home to where I belong."

“Wake up,” she said. 

It was already noontime.
