Free

Kill me now,
Or set me free.
I’ll die here if you don’t.
You see?
Hold me for your selfish ways
Hindsight that leads to stoical days

Release me,
Unchain me,
Let me fly.
You can never have me
If my soul does die.

Suffer, angst, tears,
Unrequited,
Unreciprocated,
Left divided.

Ubiquitous,
To you,
My essence does seem.
But if you let me go,
Chase my dream,
My essence will always stay the same,
And in your heart,
I will stay as tame;

But hold me here,
So self-seeking,
Yet don’t understand,
It’s self-defeating.

A double negative,
That stems from greed,
To hold me here,
Is to sow the seed,
To smother me,
Day after day,
Incessant capture,
Age and decay,
Water me now,
With jealousy,
Diffidence.

And now I must say,
In my defense,
That if you let me go,
If you love me that much,
If you can bring yourself to that point of trust,
That I won’t disappoint,
That I’ll accomplish my dream,
But if you don’t let me go.

It rips at its seam.

Comments are always nice :) Thank you.
