Hope is Waiting for Failure

by Marlon DeLeon

when we escape
this carousel
take me away
somewhere nice
and i'll wonder
what you see
behind closed eyelids
with the sky above
the field below
both slowly spin around
in a peaceful waltz
it's just you and i
the moon is down
O, I sleep so sound
i could feel the sky
so close
breathe in this midnight air, dear
with my head on your chest
i could feel your every breath
and hear your beating heart
this is what being free feels like
it's just you and me now
the world is ours
