Liberty

I spent forever waiting for someone to see me.

See me for my all

What I am inside

For someone to not just watch me fall.

You told me you loved me.

As they all tend to do.

If I hadn’t been so damaged

Perhaps I’d have seen through

the mask that you wear on a daily basis.

I was dulled to your kindness

that turned out to be naught but lust.

I was stupid in my blindness.

I could not see for an instance

Why would you want to be with me?

Perhaps I wasn’t all bad…

No, my reputation just exceeded

me. I stopped thinking straight

My brain slowly became useless

As you took my heart from me

And I was seduced by your caress.

I became the living dead.

Like in B Movies, a rotting corpse

But of all your expectations

I felt my wills being warped

And I became nothing but what you willed.

I was empty but you filled me like a vase

You covered up all the bits you didn’t like with flowers

And didn’t want to see my scars.

But then I became the flowers.

Slowly my bright petals did wilt

They crumpled and fell

Breaking all about me that you built.

Then you threw me aside

Broke my pride

And tempers did collide

And I died a little inside

And then HE took me

And he set me free

And he let me be

Me.
