COME WITH ME

Come with me.
Pack your bags in the middle of the night,
walk out the door and run to the creek.
Meet me there in the midst of the night.
Meet me there in the darkness.
Meet me there, alone.
And there, come with me.


We'll walk away and never look back.
We'll think about going back,
and wonder what would have been if we had never left
but we'll never turn back.
No, we'll never turn back.


I'll be with you
and you'll be with me
and neither of us
would rather be anywhere else.
So come with me.


Come with me in the darkness of night
come with me and fly from these chains.
Fly from this urbanity and solitude amongst the masses.
Fly with me to the
recesses of rurality,
where you and I can remain alone.

So I edited it for a poetry reading, and here's that other version:

COME WITH ME

Come with me.
Pack your bags in the middle of the night,
walk out the door and run to the creek.
Meet me there in the midst of the night,
and rendezvous with me in the darkness.
We'll meet there together, alone.
And from there we can walk away, hand in hand.


We'll walk away and never look back.
though we'll wonder what would happen if we returned.,
and we'll wonder what would have been, if we had never left.
But we'll never turn back.
No, we'll never turn back.


I'll be with you
and you'll be with me
and neither of us
would rather be anywhere else.
So come with me.


Come with me in the darkness of night
come with me and fly from these chains.
Fly from this urbanity and solitude amongst the masses.
Fly with me to the
recesses of rurality,
where you and I can remain alone.
