SWEET ESCAPE

No votes yet

I want to run, but where?
Theres no place to hide,and
No shelter safe. From the raging
Storms around me, and inside
My soul. I am beaten alive from
The hurt, and the pain cuts like
A jagged knife. I dont want to feel you
Anymore.

I need you to leave, and
To release me evermore.
The tugging is relentless,
It pulls as if to rip me apart
From the inside. My heart
Is a slaughtered battlefield,
From your poisoned love.
I dont want to feel you
Anymore.

And sleep has become no
Escape. For you invade me
There. To terrorize my dreams
And bruise my soul. I search
For the light, as it grows dimmer
Before my eyes. You have
Overshadowed my pathway,
Once more. There is no escape!
I dont want to feel you
Anymore.

The land here is so desolate,
The sun has moved away. And
The wind has ceased to blow.
The trees have refused to offer
Shade, And the flowers will not
Grow. It seems forever winter,
I need to feel Its beauty again.
Please release me, I dont want
to feel you anymore.

Well the pain and suffering I speak of remains still, fresh in my memory and heart. And yes Im afraid that wounds that deep and abusive pain that destructive, will always haunt my soul. It is profound the emotional pain our subconcious mind revisists consistently throughout our lives, whether or not we are currently happy seems to have no impact on the scars left behind.

You seem to write about pain and suffering, even though you are now happy and loved. The scars remain, even when the wounds heal. You talk of captivity and the love that holds us captive. A pain that few have experienced or would care to remember. It was well written.
