Escape by Michael HamlinConfusion surrounds every door
Spiteful looks and coldness
All is alien and distant
Hope is repaid with disappointment
Plagues of loneliness are my fate
Until I find a beam
Brighter than a jewel
Your smile is radiant
Light shining through despair
You show me acceptance
Wrapped in a blanket of contentment
I have I have shelter and peace in your presence
I will endure and survive
Stronger because of you
Your embrace comforts me
Shows me I am safe
And chases away the fog
Alone and hopeful
I think of you
Anticipating the time I see you next
Knowing when it comes
I will be glad
