Different Directions
Your heart's in the midwest
And mine's in the east
Can't find time
To make them meet
Gather your belongings
And head straight for the sea
There are birds in the sky
That will guide you to me
You are the past
That I was escaping
Will you be my future
So that my heart stops breaking?
The light in the sky
Will soon flicker out
Because without you, I realize
I have gone the wrong route
No where on earth
Can hold me down
But right here, so small
I don't make a sound
So find me in this place
Listening to sad songs
Carry me all the way home
Back where my heart truly belongs
And mine's in the east
Can't find time
To make them meet
Gather your belongings
And head straight for the sea
There are birds in the sky
That will guide you to me
You are the past
That I was escaping
Will you be my future
So that my heart stops breaking?
The light in the sky
Will soon flicker out
Because without you, I realize
I have gone the wrong route
No where on earth
Can hold me down
But right here, so small
I don't make a sound
So find me in this place
Listening to sad songs
Carry me all the way home
Back where my heart truly belongs

First time I wrote a poem in forever. This one wasn't really about long distance relationships for me, but that's kind of where I got the inspiration. Take from it what you will.
