escape

i want to capture this moment

cradle it in my hands

and softly pour it where no one else may reach it

i want it to drown me

on days when i forget

and hope it will keep me afloat

on the days when i want to sink

sink                 

because i can’t forget

and float because i shouldn’t forget

but would you forgive me if i do

if the moments that we’ve sealed

are left behind

as i turn to run the other way
