1,500 miles

I’m right there
In those arms
Where I found
Solace and sanctuary
Each time I close
My eyes to sleep

Expressions I scrawl
Onto paper cannot capture
This emotional place

People far removed
From me
See behind the veil
Talking in hushed whispers
Questioning my emotional state

They say we’re supposed
To leave it at the door
When we are here

I left mine 1,500 miles away
