I'll be along soon

Simple here 
inside my mind
inside my life
inside my house
I know who I am 
what to expect
what to put down 
and what to collect.
Stepping now
outside myself 
I cannot see
I cannot tell
what I will do
what I will say
Stay
stay a little longer
by me please

stay.

It's always been 
my favorite word
Some how
the simplicity 
of the pleading 
the quiet asking
hoping... 
not admitting how I'm needing
stay...
I've been inside for so long
I need to step away
alone with my mind for so long
all I can ask is stay...
wait for me
wait for me 
wait for me
I'll be along soon.
