Haven

Take Me There

By The Girl in GreyPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

If I could have a lie turn into a truth

I would be forever grateful to the ghost of deceit

If there was one thing in fate I could choose

It would be to have wings instead of feet

This earth has grown black as it is dug up

My heart becomes thinner with each passing day

All the opportunities in the world, it's never enough

I wish all the good memories would sit to stay

Let me stay here in my corner

Where I know I'm safe and secure

He says "I warned her"

But I thought I knew for sure

The torment we live is right here on this land

The servitude we have is beneath our knees

I wish I could just bury my face in the sand

I wish that I could feel water beneath my feet

Take me, take me so I will plead no more

Keep me locked in the eternal skies of gold

They're calling me home right at the door

Please, my life has become so old

Love always,

Chayle
