Bittersweet Escape

This is my first collab poem. The poem's writer switches after each stanza. 6/25/2013

The mirror was cut,

Wrists were shattered,

This heart is sobbing,

These tears must be broken.

 

This town sits quiet,

As the destructions falls silent,

Where these stories were once spoken,

 

Stories that have long past

Still seem so real,

They’ll never stop happening,

Darkness will never let him be.

 

Everyone’s telling him what to do,

He doesn’t remember how to feel,

It’s all very fragile,

His thoughts are vast as the sea.

 

Flowing thoughts,

Crashing waves,

How will I ever escape,

Will I never be free?

 

They tell you no,

You’re trapped forever,

But I say no,

I say run away with me.

 

Let’s run,

Leave this place,

Leave these feelings,

I’ve got you and nothing else.

 

You’re wrong,

We have the world,

Right in the palm of our hand.

 

We don’t need the world,

All we need is us,

Say goodbye,

It’s time to leave this land.

 

Whispering farewell

To the memories

We’re leaving behind,

Good and bad times, 

Old adventures,

Thinking of new ones

As we leave this reality.

 

Your lips, so bittersweet,

The last thing I’ll ever taste,

Kiss the world goodnight,

As I kiss you one last time.

 

I’m afraid of letting go,

But I know if I’m with you,

This dreamland won’t be so scary,

It’ll be just one last tree to climb,

As we stand at this height,

I contemplate our lives,

From when we were kids,

To today, on this bridge.

 

Let’s run,

Leave this place,

Leave these feelings,

I’ve got you and nothing else.
