Escape

I am alone
In the dark of the night
And even though I'm alone
It feels so right

Thoughts twist and turn
Inside my head
As I lay
Upon my bed

I cannot sleep
As much as I try
And as my thoughts become haunting
I begin to cry

These thoughts become menacing
As the night goes on
By now, I am asleep
And it is now dawn

As I lay in the state
Of an uneasy sleep
And as the hole I'm in
Becomes deep

I am awakened
By the morning breeze
Coming through my window
Putting me at ease

I get up, get dressed
And walk out the door
Still feeling the haunting
Feelings in my core

I walk into the grass
And collapse on the blades
As I look into the sky
I start to fade

Into a world of my own creation
Where everything is on my side
And where there'd be no desire
To run and hide

I can feel the summer breeze
Going through my hair
And as I'm gazing at what's around me
I have not one care

As dandelions float amongst the wind
My cares have gone with them
I start looking around
And pick up, by the stem

A flower whose color
Was as vibrant as its scent
And as I took a breath of fresh air
My last care went

I want to stay here forever
Never a worry or whim
However, this world suddenly died
As soon as I saw him
