i'm always going places, maybe someday i'll stay.

A sometime Saturday, I’ll drop the leather bag,
Drop the books and clocks and things,
Look down with tinted eyes and know
I didn’t turn these lights off.
I didn’t wander to this house.
I didn’t come here empty.
I forgot the emotion but the feelings still linger.
There will be many Saturdays
To pretend it might be raining.
Some day, I’ll build up all my energy
And take it back.

    I felt this so many times. I can so relate. You have a wonderful way with words that I can understand. Beautiful.
