Escape



Out of the dark it slaps
My face, the smell
Cigarettes and beer
I breathe like I’ve clawed
My way to fresh air
My fingers drip condensation,
ice wet on the glass,
Unseen amber torch held aloft
Leading out of lost.

  4. There is so much hope what the night will bring.. and usually the beer left a hangover... but yet again we tried...

This is where you write something so I know you were here. And where I will sometimes write back.
