Yes, it’s me.

I know you realize who I am.

The tears I cried

were once for you.

No feelings from you

that I knew.

All I ever got was

coldness, stubbornness, and pride,

but these all went out with the tide.

I loved you,

but I hate you too.

I guess that was

carried on out too.

Those feelings were not

doing me any good,

and I couldn’t see 

that they ever would.

No way but the highway 

you would say.

I would chuckle under my breath

thinking, “oh boy, it will be to your dismay

on the day that I refuse to stay.”

A brand new awakening

was about to be known,

and you were the one left to moan,

when you saw that I was gone.

No longer have I been your pawn.

There has been no boring times

to make me yawn.

This has been the best

that best could be.

I had to set myself free.
