The great escape

A life absent of passion
A love without romance
A relationship so lonely
Survival has no chance

A mommy and a daddy
Is what my child will see
Sheltered from the loneliness
Blinded of the misery

When we are together
We fit like a glove
Going through the motions
As if we were in love

Hidden in our minds
We dream of our escape
While he is dreaming of the nightlife
I have visions of the lake

He dreams of an old place in time
The love he held so near
We are fueled by our memories
And the people of yesteryear

Often I live in the past
But still dream of days to come
I long for some romance
I want to have some fun

I have many goals in life
But the one wish on my list
Is just one loving hug
And a passionate French kiss

He dreams of the social life
And all the friends that are gone
He dreams of one woman
The one that chose to move on

Two hearts beating together
They will never be entwined
Nothing will replace the past
There is no healing within time

My heart has no feeling
My insides are so numb
Will I ever love again
Can loneliness be overcome

Or am I stuck with broken dreams
While I put love on the shelf
Will I always be stuck in here
Living by myself

Will the circle be unbroken
Or will I make my great escape
Can I fall in love again
Or is it just too late
