Escape Route

by Tammie   Sep 24, 2007


I'll be your escape route if you'll be my happiness,
I don't have much of a say in it anyway
Running back to me whenever you see fit
Pushing me around isn't a problem in your eyes.

There's a six car pile up on the highway to my heart,
But I guess I'll excuse you for being late again.
You always come up with the best excuses
Conveniently, your alibi always holds up.

As you promise me sweet nothings
Good intentions are no where to be seen,
At the thought of honesty, my heart flutters
Wishful thinking won't pull me through this time.

Denial has never felt this good,
But this feeling isn't going to last.
Like life, lies have their endings too
Killing someone on the inside every time.

I'll be your escape route if you'll be my happiness,
But your promise just shattered along with my smile.
Graciously, realization has just hit home
And I think it's now time to let go of what I never had.

** I don't know if this is in the right category.. but I had no idea which one to put it in. Thanks for reading. **

    Beautiful. You had so many amazing lines through it. Very Powerful ending, and specialy liked that it didn't ryhme, it gives writer a change to say more(on my opinion). Emotions were very strong.
    Really amazing piece!
    5/5 Keep up!

    For this one, i can see such efforts and ideas on it.I don't see much rhyming ends but its okay. But I like the entire topic.

    I like your beginning line.

    "I'll be your escape route if you'll be my happiness"

    It's never a good thing when you feel like people are just fooling around with you.
    I like the way you've described how you feel about that in this piece, i also liked the ending.

    Good poem.

    "There's a six car pile up on the highway to my heart" holy ****! i friggin adore that line...favourite part of the whole piece. but what really got me was the fact it was free verse and yet the flow was FLAWLESS throughout...now i'm not much of a fan of free verse but you pulled this of wonderfully...i was hooked throughout. beautiful ending..so much feeling and power. beautifully written.

    This one is one of the best freeverse poems I have read and come across. Its just in the right category coz it depicts clear mournful feelings and the reason why your words are crying tears.

    Very poetic and lexically strong :)
