City of strangers

There is was no light for me

In that city of strangers

Where I walked down streets littered with danger

I was not from the place and what landed me there was painful circumstance

And a desire to run

From too much familarity

To invisibility

And if I was lost then that was not ever going to be the place

I would find myself

In those dark years

So is it any wonder

That years later when I return

There are far too many tears

And even after all these time

I realise

That place will never ever me more to me than

A city of strangers

Where I lost my mind

And left myself behind
