Escape Me

Feet lose touch with the ground

Maybe eyes above
Or a nose snubbed
Just scrubbed
On the roadside

Pieces
Escape me

Blood splatters everywhere

A moment stay
Coagulate
Evaporate
But stains a corpse

Drips and drops
Escape me

Heartbeat stops, the fat lady swoons

They’ll be screaming
Tears streaming
A mob teaming
And yet nothing from the dead

Voices
Escape me

Mindless meat

Beating
Meeting
Leading
The way to God

Reasons
Escape me

Soul finally escapes the shell

Flying
Lying
Finding
The way to paradise

Deaths
Escape me

It’s the only way
You can
Should
Want to
Please!!!

They’ll hurt you
I’ll hurt you
Everybody hurts
Sometimes
Until they die

So run as fast as you can
Into the box
Cold or hot

But…

Am I escaping you?
Or…
Are you escaping me?
