Escape

I picked up all the aches
One by one
And stepped away.
I hid them inside 
Locked my heart out
And walked away.
I swallowed words of anger
Chocked
Full
Could not take anything in
More.
Why don't you stay
One time more
Still in need
Your heavenly smile
Your stretched mind
Your profound soul.
My smile was sealed
My mind was exhilarated
No more no more.
I picked up all the aches
One by one
And stepped away.
I hid them inside 
Locked my heart out
And walked away.
The love you share
The time you spare
The words you care
Fake, how you dare?
My inner best
I now cherish most
My thundering voice
I now hear most.
Run
Drop heavy downhearted pain
Blow off blinding dust
Dry  dripping wounds
Uproot grudge
And dump hate
Parts of you are moaning
For peace. 
I need to wake the love of me
And cradle the love in me
I need to rise in bliss
And cling to serenity
I need to spark dark sides
And be healed inside out.
I picked up all the aches
One by one
And stepped away
I hid them inside 
Locked my heart out
And walked away.
Close your mind
Empty your heart
Put all your blame
On me
I heed 
No more, no more 
I leaf my memories through
I fold the hurt
Throw them away
My journey now I call.
I picked up all the aches
One by one
And stepped away.
I hid them inside 
Locked my heart out
And walked away.
