Untitled (Without Pattern)

I sneak away while others stare They see, yet they see nothing I cling to this world Cling? I am chained I'm chained to this world But when I close my eyes I drift to yours Here I am embraced by tranquility I spin in euphoric circles Peacefully deceived Torrents of pain subdued Pretending, my guilty pleasure No one knows the calm of it Unreal is my world of freedom I am aware, yet careless An escape from the bitter cold A place of warmth to call my own Where everything is as I like it Joyfully lost within myself They try to wake me to their world Painful realization before long My eyes are glassy, my stare is blank They beckon with harsh words Quietly, 'I do not care..' As long as I'm with you and the melody calls Ah, my sweet visionary My tired vessel fails me so As I fall into your arms of illusion Into your loving embrace of solace I care not for this world I leave behind.. Come, my love, and carry me home..I wrote this in math class, oddly enough.. I don't even think it's poetry.. It just.. popped into my head so I wrote it down.
