*Away

Sometimes I wish

I could fly away

Away from my pain

Away from my heart

I always feel things so deeply

The emotions are so strong

I can't just let them go

I wish I could fly away

To a distant land

Filled with fragrant flowers

And bright cloudless skies

Days without rain

Days without pain

So I can forget my heart

And the times it's been broken

So I can forget you

And the things you have said

I long for peace filled days

Without hurt and tears

The best thing I can do

Is lock my heart up tight

Not allow another boy

Within it's tattered view

Keeping them at a distance

Until I have healed

And am ready to let them

Fight their war in my heart

Once more

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Is a girl every really ready to let a boy fight war in her heart?

We all wish that at certain times we could be whisked away, to forget,to reflect and to escape. Life can be precarious. this is a well written poem from your heart. I enjoyed reading it.
