Wanderlust

Wanderlust calls
She packs her bags
She flies here and there
She visits friends that are more like family
She walks down cobblestone streets
She visits museums
And coffee shops
She walks quickly
She almost runs
She looks straight ahead
Never connecting
Never sitting down to think
Never at ease with herself
Because deep down she knows
She's alone
-----

She walks quickly and with purpose
Her expression solum
She has places to go
And people to see
She smiles and pretends
When they are there
No questions need be asked
She's perfectly happy, she tells them
She smiles and pretends
She looks down, never connecting
Because deep down she knows
She's alone
