The Past Escape

When silence fills the air, with no one around and time to spare I escape to the memory of an old life The love that made everything worth the fight My eyes are closed, And this reality slips away I hear your voice as if it was still that day A love that can't be But the world didn't matter when it was just you and me This even for moments is my reality The one time we were both free In the darkness where prying eyes could never see You still could find me Words where never spoken that could explain our love Yet, our eyes betrayed us all the time Every second was spent like our last Knowing that soon these times would be locked in the past As we touched, our darken souls merged No matter how hard we fought, it was felt as we must True love, with an evil lust Destiny is how you said you knew we were meant to be We knew with each parting day, that our silent love will destroy us But it wasn't enough time, and this was an addicting crime The warmth of your love is the only thing that restarts my heart As my face circles in your mind even with years apart The pain, in my escape is worth it every moment To relive the past, that seemed to end all to fast Our song that you wrote, reminds me of the hell we knew we would go through It was too late then to care, we jumped leaving nothing to spare Your words still hold true, I love you too Nothing will ever replace me or you, And the cruelty of this world we knew But I do it all over again, Knowing that it would end Because your the best escape, now and then
