Hide and Seek

Your voice wraps around me like a homemade quilt.

The jokes we make and the breathes that together we take are part of the house we built.

But still, every other day I want to run from you.

However each time I nearly outrun my emotions, I find myself trapped in the same zoo.

Caged and alone, my feelings once again twisting like a cyclone.

Now as I'm on display for all to see,

I look for you in the crowd like a game of hide and seek.

But once we lock eyes, I try to run and hide.

Once again. Hide and seek.

When I finally find a wall to hide behind, I hear your voice and I lose my mind.

Even as I try to be alone

I know I can't deny, you are my home
