Our Escape

They say energy never dies
but never said it'd stay for the entire ride
hand in hand, losing their minds
Even in the darkness
there's nowhere to hide
thought that when their worlds decided to collide
the pain would finally subside
Did they ever really try?
or did they just shut down inside?
countless excruciating tears they've cried
yet still numb
 from losing so many loved ones that died...
 time after time after time 
consuming lust filled emotions 
had them drowning in eachother's souls
but fears fueled the endless lies 
that their bruised egos told
slowly making their hearts turn cold 
so unaware of the true dimension 
they belonged in
a place they created together 
as their souls continued
 intertwining & binding 
defining forever 
manifested their own demons
trying to protect themselves 
from expected cruel intentions 
boy, were they relentless 
made nothing but a huge mess of this
love & desire 
mixed with fear & anger 
created an unextinguishable fire 
adding fuel to the flames 
whenever he was inside her
one anothers new drug 
they couldn't get any higher

A raw, emotionally charged free-verse piece that lets its cascading rhymes mirror the relationship’s compulsive pull. The repeated motifs of darkness, loss, lust, fear, and fire create a powerful sense of two people bound together even as their shared wounds turn intimacy into an inescapable cycle.
