Her Forbidden Escape

Up in her own little world, won’t ever come down

She looks outside, shimmering lights all over this town

Secluded and afraid, but she swears she’s content 

“I’m lying to myself, that’s not what I meant”

She does what she pleases amongst all the trees

But that’s not enough, she wants to feel free 

“Where could I go? Who could I meet?”

He found her in her own little world, she thought she’d never come down 

She thought of the lights, the ones over this town

He brought her to them, an escape from her mind

She’d never known someone at all, let alone someone so kind

She thought of her old habits, she knows they’ll die hard 

Then she looked at him, she knew her past was barred 

A love she thought she couldn’t have, completely forbidden 

Standing right in front of her, story unwritten

He was the brightest light amongst all the rest 

She escaped her own little world saying, “I’m so glad I left.”
