so tightly shut are my eyes.
Too many call it disturbed,
but I cant hide from these cries.

The loitering is exhausting,
so run, do I, and never look back.
The only thing I regret
are the angelic wings that I lack

The cold is stifling,
like the space between your lungs.
Still you try to get to a higher place.
Your ladder is missing its rungs

The sight of red is calming,
a colour you unknowingly adore.
Behind your back, I find sanctuary
to paint with a few permanent scores.

Six feet under I fly.
A dream I hold too tight.
A dream to conquer the impossible.
A dream to be out of sight [comments] => 0 [counter] => 88 [topic] => 36 [informant] => JJAA_91 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Where is Sanctuary?

The darkness is blinding,
so tightly shut are my eyes.
Too many call it disturbed,
but I cant hide from these cries.

The loitering is exhausting,
so run, do I, and never look back.
The only thing I regret
are the angelic wings that I lack

The cold is stifling,
like the space between your lungs.
Still you try to get to a higher place.
Your ladder is missing its rungs

The sight of red is calming,
a colour you unknowingly adore.
Behind your back, I find sanctuary
to paint with a few permanent scores.

Six feet under I fly.
A dream I hold too tight.
A dream to conquer the impossible.
A dream to be out of sight
