Somewhere

Every night, I look at the sky
Utter a silent wish with my eyes burning with tears
I hum a lullaby
And the wind reciprocates it with gentility
I think of a far away dream
Not a past so-longed forgotten
Not even close to a future out of sight
And not even a sweet daydream
I so often do
I don't even know what it is
That I always wish for
But I just sit by my window
Longing for something unknown to me
Praying to God; talking to the moon
And smiling at the stars above
Maybe...just maybe...
What I truly wish for
Is for someone to take me away...
Take me to a place
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
Take me where someone is
Waiting for me...

Have you ever felt this sense of longing so strange to you? Have you ever felt escaping this monochromatic world?
