escape to nowhere

i went away with night
alone
to be lost among the stars
and the waves of the sea

i went away to forget and
be at peace with myself . .

but you my friend , roused
me from my dream
you made me remember that
life wasn't kind

that i cannot forget
forever . .

i chose this path believing
i would lose the pain,

but then again perhaps,
i went away with pain alone
