When it Escapes You

Xlayla55x

 

When happiness escapes you

where do you run?

Was it real to you,

or was it all for fun?

 

When love escapes you

how do you get over it?

I thought we were forever 

that we were a perfect fit

 

When light escapes you 

and you're left in the dark

you start to wait for someone 

to come relight the spark

 

When sanity escapes you 

and your mind begins to rot

you think: Were you important

or just an afterthought?

 

But when life starts to escape you

you grasp on to what you can

won't let yourself give up

because you want to live again.

    WELCOME FRIEND ~ Thanks for your first Poem ! We can all empathise with this elegantly penned Poem (full of rhythm ~ rhyme ~ reason) because the things we value most Happiness ~ Love ~ Light ~ Sanity ~ Life itself ~ escape us all the time but hopefully not all at once ! I'm only 1/3 rd through my life (35 !) but I have enough experience to know the importance of the things you highlight !
    HAPPINESS is as transient as Rainbows ~ Enjoy it while you have it ~ dont fret when you dont !
    LOVE always HURTS but as a Man my MANTRA is "Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" In my experience Unrequited Love is harder for Ladies to bear ~ I always treat them with respect & TLC
    LIGHT & HEAT are important for PHOTOSYNTHESIS (if you are a Plant) and METABOLISM (if you are an Animal) I always look for relationships that provide me with LIGHT (enlightenment) and HEAT (Human kindness)
    SANITY ~ The BRAIN is the most important ORGAN in the Human Body ~ my experience is That Visual Art ~ Music and Literature (especially Poetry) keeps me sane and stops me from going MAD or SENILE (please check my site which is always a symbiosis of all THREE)
    LIFE ~ That is your most precious possession ~ always cherish and protect it ! A person who is only half (or even only 25% look at Stephen Hawkins !) alive is infinitely better off than one who is Physically Dead ! When I visit a friend in the MORGUE ~ I know for them IT'S OVER ~ IT'S OVER ~ IT'S OVER ~ I don't want to be in that State for at least another 70 years when I will be 105 and perhaps past my Sell by Date ?
    Love your poem ~ more please ~ Yours BRIAN (UK) MPS works by reading & commenting ~ OK ~ B !
