Winter Escape

We built a jail around

Called it home somehow

Dreams and stars and hopes and spark

All stayed outside this park

We adorned it with our careful love

Thinking it’ll take us up

We were dazed and sad in the eyes

The darkest blues we have seen in skies

You said ‘you don’t feel stuck anymore’

Indeed we locked in on us.

Time flew, like a tortured cell

We both have been back bent

I love you now, I love you always

You’re my most special place 

Liberties, we both take today

Winters, we didn’t escape

Lantern of love was never out

Through darkness, we have howled

I’m drenched fully in your richness

I bloom, you’re the witness

I am uncertain of the way

Nothing’s here to stay

 

Shaken roots

 

Lost my shine, mask’s not staying on

Smile numbed, crooked smile

Its me again, my own valentine

Roots shaken, not yet out

Heart sickened, taste’s sour

This is my life, not ours

I refuse to stay hit and ran on

I am coming to haunt you down.
