From somewhere far away
Will you please come back to me?
Like a fool
I watched you run into the distance
Never giving chase
Only my blessing
Told you to fly
To soar
To break your chains
To be free from the bonds of tyranny
Calmly
Quietly
I closed my eyes and let go of your hand
Never realizing
What was best for you
Would tear open my scars
And leave a hole of blackness within my aching heart…
