If I wrap it up tight enough,
close my eyes as I throw it,
will this fear inside of me
let the passing wind blow it
to far away places
I know nothing about
where it stays for eternity
and never comes out?
But wait, before you go
tell me what will I do
on the days I am lonely
and looking for you?
Will you return when I call you
to this place you know well?
Take me hostage again
in this self confined hell?
Or just leave me alone
to feel the pain of release
An absence I've longed for
I just want some peace
I really love this one, and I remember when you wrote it… it's interesting to me because you are saying that you will be calling for it, but when it comes to you, it's taking you hostage, against your will, even though you called for it. Beautiful.
