I'm going away
For how long I don't know
I just know I need time
To heal an empty heart
So I'll go somewhere warm
Somewhere in my mind.

Someplace without you
Without the memory of your kiss
A place south of nowhere
Where dreams don't exsist
And I can forget
Somewhere in my mind.

Maybe I'll fly
Like an eagle, wings flared
To a distant mountain peak
To hide untouched
By all that you were
Somewhere in my mind.

Or maybe I'll drift
On soft ocean currents
Adrift on an empty sea
Where every word doesnt remind me
Of the man I thought you were
Somewhere in my mind.

Somewhere I'll find
A place without you
Where days can just pass
Without anger and pain
And I can be free
Somewhere in my mind.

Seems so very sad for a day of love like this. I hope you find that peaceful place in your mind and it brings you comfort.

I'll echo inot2B and add...I think I shouldn't want to go where there are no dreams for without dreams, where would we be?

Very well-written piece with strong emotion, and we do need escape every now and then, to go apart, to rest, meditate, consider. find away to love again.

Excellent penning of such a hard thing to deal with...great write...I like it!

everytime I close my eyes, I see your face, I taste you on my lips...
every night I fantasize that I can feel you on my fingertips...

We definitely see the color blue beneath your letters of red...hiding away in this loveless lament. Good Work!

Paula dear heart, this is utterly totally excellent, beautifully written. The depth of emotions are wonderful, and the imagery far surpasses anything else. I could really see all this dear heart, truly magnificent. How many more times I am not biased, it is utterly fabulous
Love and stuff
Take care as always

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

Paula--Often the more we try to forget about something the more we just can't, well expressed feelings in this, nicely done.

Paula, if you find this place, where we can go and forget about the love and the pain, I want to hitch a ride.
Awesome write, my friend.
