Run

I'd like to 
run
to a place I've never been to before
not even in my dreams
or my worst nightmares
I'd like to 
run
like a toddler jumping into her mother
heart settling
breath slowing down
coming home
I'd like to 
run
away from all my troubles
turn off the noise
the shell of a life
and embrace 
a new cocoon
to hope to be rid of
a new home
to leave behind one day.
I'd like to run
to you, love
waiting around the corner
lurking like a street light
in a city empty of people
I'd like to run
not hide
I'd like to run
not fight
I'd like to run
like the speed of light
I'd like to run
back to my life.
