Escape

Please be my escape.

And I'll take you away.

This city is dark.

Don't call it your home.

There's no hope left here.

There's nothing left to be grown.

But there's a place near by.

We can call it our own.

I can show you the way,

And write our names in the stone.

But when the comets came down,

The buildings did, too.

The people, they ran.

But I fought my way through.

I found you by chance.

And I doubt that you knew,

That I was running to hide,

Somewhere deep inside of you.

Please be my escape.

And I'll take you away.

The sky remained red.

The fires raged on.

The people went down,

Trying to stay calm.

The ground kept shaking.

Voices quoted psalms,

Praying for loved ones,

Who were already dead and gone.

But that place is still there.

And it still looks like new.

We can go there now.

It's just waiting to be used.

If you finally receive,

All the answers you're due,

Would it scare you to find out,

That I was made for you?

Please be my escape.

And I'll take you away.

Please try.

Be my,

Escape.

Be mine.

And I'll be yours.

Please try.

Be my,

Distraction.

Be mine.

And I'll be yours.

Please try.

Be my,

Escape.

Be mine.

And I'll be yours.

Please try.

Be my,

Distraction.

Be mine.

And I'll be yours.

Tell me,

You'll be,

Better than the rest.

And I'll be yours.

Deep piece, meaningful, romantic and quite moving as well.
Truly beautiful.
I love the whole meaning to this piece about wanting to escape with someone. Being with them and they make you feel like all your worries and troubles are gone, there your escape from the real world for just a little while.
Brilliant!

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing! I would love to put it to music but I don't have the ability to haha

I loved the lines :

"If you finally receive,
All the answers you're due,
Would it scare you to find out,
That I was made for you?"

Overall, a beautiful poem on love. Thanks for sharing.

"Be mine.
And I'll be yours."- A simple, heartfelt plea. The simplicity of this piece is really its strength. I sense a great undercurrent of peace in this piece.

[Michael (Letters and Lifelines)]

Thank you very much Diana! I can always count on you for appreciating the simplicity and strength of some of my writing!

This is fantastic, full of emotions and I loved the repetition. You should make a song out of this. That would just be brilliant.
Well done :)

[Michael (Letters and Lifelines)]

Thank you for the great review! I will definitely think about making it into a song!

[annabellee]

you're most welcome :)

This is excellent, Michael! I so love the lines here...and the repetition effect.

"Please be my escape.

And I'll take you away.

Please try.
Be my,
Escape.

Be mine.
And I'll be yours."

The emotions are well-expressed in each verse. So powerful!

[Michael (Letters and Lifelines)]

Thank you very much, Dhaye!

i love this apocalyptic setting, which i think you''ve done a good job of reminding that love is the most important thing when the end is near. very nice emotion michael:)

[Michael (Letters and Lifelines)]

Thank you for visiting tressa! I'm glad you picked up on the apocalyptic setting!

[Hailey Shay]

I love this! I could see you emotionally/literally chasing after "the one" that you wanted to be your escape. And I love how you created an external place outside of reality where ya'll would go to run away and belong solely to one another.

[Michael (Letters and Lifelines)]
