Escape to Paradise

The darkness swirls in with the light
With the beat of her heart, she fights for life.
As life tries to overcome death,
But she starts to fade.
As her heart begins to slow,
And tears from loved ones fall.
The dark has won...once again.
A girl who lost her mother,
Now tempted by the dark.
But when Freedom is inches away,
She turns and run, with a tail between her legs.
She turns and runs, to where she feels safe.
She turns and runs, to where she is loved.
She turns and runs, to her world
That could only be books.
