The City That Changed My Heart

Finding Freedom

It took getting lost in you

To find myself

Giants grasping for the sky

Cradled my heart at their feet

Anonymity my greatest freedom

Constraints I’d not imagined attached to my soul

Melted away

Running free

Unbridled dreams so big

They frightened even me

Letting go of this place I called home

Ushered in pain the likes of which I’d never known

Five years of anguish

As though mourning a lost lover

Gazing upon you now

I wonder if you remember me

The timid heart who spent hours transfixed by your beauty

Marveling at your artistry

Delicately fracturing every sunset

As if to say, this beauty is for you

Reminding me, in the midst of fear

Lay untold possibility

Knowing that no matter where I rest my head

My heart will always be with you

New York City on my mind
