Cannot Escape


      " We cannot escape

They are coming

With poisoned words

And glinting swords

          We cannot escape

They are marching

Towards us and towards the war

            We cannot escape 

We're the only ones left

I gave you my word

           We cannot escape 

The ones left behind 

Their story never heard

           We cannot escape

Once crystal clear 

Now the lines are blurred 

           We cannot escape 

Sent to die alone

At the stake we are burned

TamingOfSeaWolves

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves
