waiting

I want to hide from the world
Hide from these dreadful faces
Go back to the place where I call home
The place that’s full of warm embraces

Everything’s changed
Can’t even go back
Don’t know where they went
Maybe… I could just wear a mask

Please, save me
Take me back to where I belong
Take me back to the friendly smiles
Back to the place where I’m never alone

All I do is weep
Weep so silently in the darkness
As I wait for death
To wrap me in its sweet kindness

If I could hide from the world
I would. But… I can’t.
I’m just waiting
For someone who’ll understand
