far from me.

I was always taught that love was a place
but my home's in your heart
and you're so far away
I picture me years from now
Quiet voice, soul is loud
I wonder if you'll ever need
anything from me
How did we get to this place?
Where time disappears in a blink
and life's a race, no time to think?
Always trying to heal hearts
that don't know their broken
I've misspoken yet again
If I leave soon enough
Maybe you'll miss me
You were wrong
You needed me all along
So I'll run
Far away
Find a new home
Someplace temporary
you probably don't even care
who I am anymore than me
Yet, here I am on my knee's
wishing, praying, begging, pleading
Well, at least I've got your memory
that's all I'll need
Can you meet me in my dreams?
I've got too many burdens on my back
Can I just collapse, and wait for the storm to pass?
People all around me say
they love and believe me
but I don't know what I need
I have the roots
but haven't planted any seeds 
I'll run
I won't stay.
Need to go
Take my heart
plant new seeds
somewhere far from who I thought I'd be.
