My Escape

© Black Tangled Heart

Dedicated to the lovely drama-princess

~*~

His chapped hand caresses my face
Upon his lips, sourness I taste
Why did he bring me to this cold place?
I am only broken here

Chained to the underworld; a servant of sin
The blackness and poverty draws me in
There is no escaping the din
Of harsh laughter and lies in my ears

But then an angel with bright eyes
Descends upon me and breaks the ties
That hold me down; he isn't here to lie
He is my saviour; my fragile lover

His sweet song enraptures me
The tenderness of love, it captures me
I have my freedom; I'm in rhapsody
He is not like all the others

My precious writer; my cherished friend
Who I swear I'll love until life's end
With him I don't have to pretend
He is the brightest; born to create

And to him, I am a demure and precious
In his arms I am not of money, but of flesh
My pure ecstasy is bright and fresh
He is my escape…

My escape
