I Escaped

I escaped and walked through the world

where my words were my ...
lonely path back from a broken heart ...
where my words were my ... reality

I escaped and walked through the world where I met
bread and butterflies kissing dandelions.

Obstacles in my path
... the devil in disguise

I escaped and walked through the world where I touched ...
a lie and the truth interbred
a figment of my imagination
everlasting time ...
a soul incapable of love.

I escaped and walked through the world where I buried
my love for him

where I buried ...
the yearning for imperfection
where I buried my direction.
