Getaway

by, Cassandra

It’s a long way down,
even if we had the wings to fly.
And it’s a long time coming,
but we had hoped it’d pass us by.

It’s time.
Let’s shine.

We’ll fall and crash and burn
so the smoke will hide our getaway.

Let’s getaway.

Too much to say and
think and do, so I don’t.
I keep my peace this silent night
as your words fill the darkened sky.

It’s time.
Let’s shine.

Let’s be.
Let’s breathe.
