The Only Way Poem by Half Past

The Only Way

My escape from what is to be
from paper and pen
computer and keyboard
from mouth and finger
voice and tongue

my only release
from what i've wrung

reality fleeting
my heart lost it's beat

forever entrenched
in love's forlorn stench

my only peace
is thru this piece
my release and escape at hand

thru writing words
to plot and plan

so i sit and dream
of better times
as i implore forgiveness
in bad rhymes
