They Can Escape the Darkness

They can escape the darkness,
They can escape the darkness,
Or so I wish, if they, cannot.

My heart is sad, when I see them kiss,
they are, both beautiful, and it seems,
that, together, they have something,
I fear, to find, beyond reach.

They can escape the darkness,
They can escape the darkness,
Or so I wish, it, would be.

Always, I hope they keep, her warm,
The jackets she wears, that belong, to him.
That the words, he gives, are heavy and full,
Enough, to keep her.

They can escape the darkness,
And must, for, I wish,
That the paths she walks, are short,
If they are, to end, at him.
