It was the city lights
that called
drew us from home
to a strange land
Mere babes from woods
we followed the unknown path
and ended
more lost than found
Holding hands
and surviving on kisses
we were sure
our road
was paved with gold
The grown world
too harsh
too large
we were misunderstood
In the streets
faces of loved ones
haunted our backs
the search leading
right to our hiding place
The promise
of warm beds
and bleeding hearts
made our eyes wide
with missing
Thank you
for running with me
for believing
I was worth everything
