Escape

elphaba993

I've tried to numb the pain 

Sleeping with strangers 

Stuck in a permanent 

Drug induced haze 

Blackout drunk nearly every night 

But nothing gets the feel of you off me 

Even my dreams aren't safe 

You have taken over every aspect of my life 

And now my only means of escape 

Is the pills in my stomach 

And the gun in my hand 

Because 

So help me God 

I will get away from you 

If it's the last thing I do.

    Thanks ELPHA ~ I'm sorry that such a well written poem relates such a sad sad story. "I'v got you under my skin" is the line of poem but so very true in experience. Another song says "I'm gonna wash that Man right outa my hair and send him on his way. But that is not true ~ they haven't inverted the Man / Girl remover shampoo yet ! Every blessing but never ever be tempted to us the GUN ~ Yours BRIAN
