Escaping the Power of Love


There is no escaping the monster that chases you day in and out,

There is no escaping that wild fire that always manages to spread in two directions and then stop. 

It's even hiding in your closet,

Out of sight,

It's there because there is no escaping. 

 

There's no escaping that chilling sensation that goes across your body like an invisible cape of thriller .

No escaping that joker grin that goes across your face everytime you look into his eyes and see the good in him.

Everytime you turn to walk away for your own relief you feel that hold he has on you,

You see, feel, taste, hear the love between your two souls;

You start to realize no matter how much your personalities change,

Your souls are forever. 

 

There is no burying that inevitable power under the good of a made up life or the dream of another man.

No escpaing the fact that out of all of the generous fish in the sea,

You still want the scrawny yet shimmering trout,

Because youare the only one that can look straight and be blinded by that unique shimmering pattern,

Everyoe else has to fish at an angle to get a glance. 

 

There is no escaping that fading shadow at the end of each open door for you,

No need on inquiring on which one you will choose,

Because no matter the route you take,

It will always lead you back around to him.
