It escapes me, this last breath of a living nightmare
My dreams become reality I close my eyes to the despair
Woven in soaked silk sheets my body lies contort
Claustrophobic in my own bed my death has come up short
It escapes me, the sweet kiss you left upon my dying heart
I can taste you breathing into me but the beating fails to restart
Now enmeshed inside a cocoon a beauty thrives to be set free
Flaking away the outer skin but look it’s only me
It escapes me, the will to forgive myself for giving up
Became complacent in mediocrity with a life too boring to disrupt
Clipping off the wings given to me to fly
I’m no longer soaring except in a blood stained sky
It escapes me, how happiness always finds a way to elude me
I feel as if I’m an aberration that no one can even see
Haunted by the hope that someone will have my reflection
Not even with lidless eyes have they looked in my direction
It escapes me, how easily I can write what I wish to say
Yet, when I try to open my mouth my words get jumbled along the way
I contemplate my answers with a stutter in my mind
Afraid to let anyone get too close because they may not like what they find
It escapes me, each and every moment I’m just withering away
Soon I’ll be old and looking back on my life without a thing to say
Death may take my body ending all chances of getting myself together
But within the soul of these words my voice shall live forever
