Get Away

In the morning
I see you sleeping peacefully.
And my only wish is that
You'd be like that forever.

I'm so tired of hiding, of avoiding;
For fear of being found.
I tried to stand strong,
But you knocked me down.

I look out the window
And i remember all those snowy days.
We'd run around; you'd build me a fortress
And call it our castle.
But gone are those days of innocence.
I wonder when it all disappeared.

I realize it's been much too long,
and I search for the door.
'Cause I have to go away now,
As far as I can.
Slowly I rise and pause as you stir,
I quietly slip on my jeans
And hold my breath as i zip them.
Carelessly I throw my shirt on,
And slip into my sneakers.
Tiptoeing across the creaks,
I dont see the bruise
On my face as I pass the mirror.

its not about me .. just something that stumbled out of my hands at work.. Inner strength is so important..
 
Wow...that's quite an emotional poem, jams. Consider yourself lucky that you are able to use poetry as an outlet when you need to vent.
