Escaped in the night.
Booked a flight.
Lost my breath
When I left the ground.
Touched Heaven
When I touched down.
Like that,
I was gone.
Like that,
I was free
To be
The man that you attempted
To take away.
My mistake
For ever giving you room
To think
That it was okay
To utilize your embrace
As strategy
To reel in my heart.
You had me hooked
From the start
But
When you started leaving me
In the dark
Just to maintain your glow,
I knew
I had to go.
Good luck
Finding someone to take my place.
This isn’t about
Getting even.
I just want to be safe.
