i want to get high in foreign cities
travel to places i have yet to lay my eyes on
pack a bag and take off, my only motive to feel free
i want to kiss lovers on pavement my toes have never touched
beneath trees rooted with legends in their leaves
ensuring everlasting love
and i want to feel light, rather than weighed down
anchored to one small town
i want to drop everything and get away
to places where time is altered
and the stars are always present
whether it be in the night sky or people's eyes
i want to fall in love with strangers, cities, and scenes
i crave so deeply to feel free
to start anew

but at the same time
i want you to come too

s.s
the tippy tap
of my toes
will never tell someone
where to go
they will not lead
through the dark
they will not mend
a broken heart
they will not tell you
what is next
they simply lead
to a doorstep
to a yellow house
on a grey rocky road
they don’t lead you places
other than home
