You asked me
how it felt
to be alone.
You told me that
nobody
will ever love me
the way that you did.
You told me that
nobody
will ever understand me.
Not like you.
But when I left you,
I felt like
a caged bird
set free.
My wings were weak
from a lack of flight.
From being held back
for so long.
And I was alone,
oh was I ever alone
But I was so free.
