Take me back

Beauty rose from darkness,

Light poured into the scene,

Dragging color and sentiment with it,

and yet,

Somewhere in the distance,

Emptiness remained,

She felt it,

She could nearly enter it,

But she didn't,

She stayed good,

She stayed innocent,

Because she had to,

For them and for him,

Oh, but how she wanted mystery,

and lust and eternal freedom,

'Will it ever come?'

She asked herself,

Clouds covered the isolated compass,

A silence as deafening as the unwanted truth,

emerged from utter blackness,

And she waited,

And waited,

Until life developed and inhaled her very image.

She touched his neck and smiled,

Laughter covered her swollen lips,

She was happy,

She was in love,

But like an hourglass,

Time disappeared,

And so did the memory.

'Take me back!'

She screamed.

'Take me back to the good places."

And just like that,

She escaped.

Sometimes, just to be a carefree, innocent child again, but my life now is all and more that I ever could have wished for.

I think this is a feeling many feel. We have our lives and we are happy, but there is till a part of us that wants to go back and live earlier times, or maybe try different choices. I can't help be curious as to what her escape was. Maybe its up to the reader. Nice write.

Thank you! Nice comparison- it is fully up to you to figure out what her escape was. You may interpret it in many ways. :) Have a lovely day!
