you win

My white flag is flying
I’m walking away
You’ve made it quite clear
That you don’t want to stay

So I won’t keep trying
No I’ll no longer fight
My best foot put forward
But you’re far out of sight

So am I the loser
Since you won the war?
I can’t help but feel now
The same as before

I knew your name
And recognized your face
I was on my own path
Running at my pace

Now I’m back on that path
Blowing with the breeze
My love being spent
On whomever I please

So yes, you’ve won
But I didn’t lose
At the end of all this
You made a great muse

this town

I miss the sun on my face
Warm wind in my hair
Sand stuck to my feet
Not having a care
My life here is dry
It’s as cold as the night
I can’t seem to thrive
I can’t seem to fight
I feel my heart wanting
To just pack up and go
It’s calling me ever
So quietly so
To some other place
Full of culture and joy
A place to plants roots
Who knows? Meet a boy?
But I stay where I am
No I can’t up and flee
I just hope that this place
Won’t suck the life out of me
