Poetry - The Escape Route

Holding on to the memories, Each smile followed by tears, The absence taken away the music, Given in to all his fears Your presence defined his life, Without you, he's lost his heart, Your presence meant happiness, Without you, it all breaks apart His soul calls for you, Screaming into the void, The unbreakable bond between the two, Wherever you are, it can't be destroyed Eyes closed to see you next to him, The Silent Guardian everywhere, Yet everything around goes dim, As his eyes open to the lonely heir

Whole long walking in the dark, Lead miles away into wilderness, Eyes gazing around for the mark, To lead him out this darkness Locked away into the chest, His heart as cold as snow, Like a hatchling fallen off her nest, Helpless prey of the eternal foe The guiding light faded away, The tears stained the soul, Helplessly walking into the fray, Night after night, darker than coal Haphazard steps turning questions, Seeking answer with burning desire, Keeps requesting beyond depression, To be lead to her beyond the fire
