I Am Free

You don't seem to see the pain inside of me

I have no idea what is inside your mind

Traveling on this lonely road we call life

And never do we seem to see eye to eye

 

Loneliness seems to consume me

And oceans grow between you and I 

Islands of doubt form in the dark waters

And when I look your way, I don't see you

 

Father time has meddled with our lives 

Growing old together was never an option

For what we did was vastly different

We slowly unraveled at the loosely stitched seams

 

I bloomed into a bright and beautiful rose

You were unwilling to see any way but your own

Toxicity seeped into the strings holding us together

The acid ate away at our marital vows

 

Promises once made before those by our side

Now crumbling between my fingers

As I step away from the wreckage we caused

I breathe deep, signing the final papers

 

I am free
