When life is grey
I escape into a world of colour
When my heart feels only black
I escape into a world full of passion and love
When my soul feels only torment
I escape into a world where my soul flies free

I close my eyes and into my dreams I escape
I escape to a world that only I control
A place where my heart can truly soar
I find you there
Alone and free
Seeking the same solace as me

I melt into your warm embrace
And for a brief moment in time
The storms without can not find me
They can not lash me with their bitter unrelenting blows
Here there are no tears
No hurtful words that tear at the heart of my fragile soul

But it can not last, this world I built
The dreams must end
My eyes must open
The world moves on, and demands my attention
Tearing me apart from this peaceful place I built
Tearing me away from your comforting touch

The colours return to grey
My heart returns to black
My soul returns to it's cage of torment
Patiently I must wait
To once again close my eyes
And find you there waiting
Only in my dreams.....
