I step into the unknown,
burning my boat behind me,
never to see you again.

The swelling faces of many,
I won't miss you,
***** and sweet girl,
never again.

I move in the night
in the day,
not stopping.

The sun pierces my veins,
the heat unbearable.
Step, step,step.

Calling voices from the past,
singing a song of promise,
calling me to that known place.

Thinking of those winking eyes
makes my skin crawl.

I'm obvious,
not quiet,
rushing forth.

My whole being
throwing me forward,
away, away from the drawn
and known faces.

Moving to the unknown,
never to return,
.....ever.
