Free

You lured me to the edge of your world with sweet promises
Of love and kindness
Once I stepped into your heart I realized how cold it truly was
But by then it was too late
You trapped me with your guilt trips and daily verbal thrashing
Until I felt like nothing
I was tied up in a sick love that left me feeling weaker each moment
It meant nothing to you
Because you didn't really care about my love for you, only the control
It was everything to you.
I feared you at times, not really knowing what your next move would be.
I didn't know how to react.
I tried everything to make you happy only to realize nothing would.
Then I tried to escape.
And instantly your heart seemingly melted and your love for me had appeared.
I was your fool
Until that fateful day that ended us, and I was able to break from the reigns.
My heart was finally free.
For a long time my future's view was overshadowed by the past of our relationship
But I'm finally able to see
And it feels good to realize that my future plans can't be held down by your imprisonment
And now I know
That even if you were to come back you would never fit into my world...
