Escapes (wordsspeak316)

 Escapes

 Like a cigarette, you were my stress reliever.

Your lips, like wine, helped me forget who we were.

2 people, lost and running away

We were tragic, but we were no Shakespeare play

We crashed into each other

I was Looking for escapes, you became another.

I lost myself within the words you spoke

From knowing you, but not really at all, feelings awoke.

Somehow, you killed me, but gave

me life

I made it out, but I barely survived.

~J.E.
