Are We Ever Really Free?

As the months went by, you communicated less and less
Leaving me alone, while I traversed a certain darkness
And now I have a tendency to get just a little bit upset
Every time I have to remember all of your forgetfulness
That you mixed with equal amounts of love and tenderness

But, because of your own learned inability to fully trust
You precariously put all the screws you possibly could to us
As they were driven in, I prepared for the echoing hush
That I knew was coming before, and after we broke up

Then, when it happened, I dare say almost rather quickly
You said, “Losing me was the way it had to be!”
And that we would always be good friends, REALLY?
But you needed your space, so you could do some healing

Excuse me?

You wanted to be free, free of me, and still be friendly?

While you see my brain waves roll on their natural frequency
With their own ability to come crashing down on top of me
My sea of bewildering thoughts has to keep me flowing sensibly
To save me from the agony of my or your gated reality

And, as your lips dagger often pierced my sensitive heart
I felt and saw you desiring our worlds to split apart
Since then you haven’t spoken, or asked that we restart
So, forgetting everything about us is actually pretty smart

You can’t cut someone, and expect them not to bleed
And they may never heal, if the wound is far too deep
We all have our tolerance, the level we refuse to go beyond
And once it’s reached, it’s normal to want to move along

Still, I hope only good things may always come your way
And you do find the love that you can really trust, one day
As for me and my life, what else is there left for us to say?
Other than I hope to at long last bond with my soul mate
