The Great Escape.

Given the humiliation of the thought
There was no where left to turn,
Something never dreamed or thought before.
She was in desperate need of a move.
Maybe someday she would leave him.
Maybe on the Horizon stood her freedom.


Is she even able to recognize freedom
Now that she has given a second thought
That all her problems were caused by him?
Take matters in her own hands and turn
The page, taking her love, and move-
Meant toward the way she knew before


But there needs a jumping off point before
Heading toward the yellow-taped freedom
Line. Something such a catalyst to move
This thing forward. Not lost in thought
But a clear head, with no twist, no turn,
Just the last attempt that failed to tame him


Of course the denial will start with him
Having a perfectly good explanation. And before
You know it, he will blame and try to turn
The whole thing against you! His freedom
Is what's at stake! Yet you brush the thought
off, knowing he has played his last move


Her emotions let pass, her heart to move
And give the last romance promised by him
No room to breathe, not even a passing thought.
For she is willing to move on even before
Her memories have faded. Tonight freedom
comes by the shot. And yes, tides will turn.


Be patient, don't even consider you might turn
back. That door is closed and locked so move
forward on your own two feet. Gain the freedom
He hid from you this whole time. Give him
not a passing glance. Act as if the you before
knew what you now know, Given serious thought.


A thought is a turn
To move free, even before
Him who blocks freedom
