Prisoner

I’d followed you across the earth

The universe would’ve allowed me to do so

I felt like I’ve known you forever

But at the same time, I don’t

The two emotions clash with each other

I haven’t found the reason why

Until years later

I realized I was blinded by my devotion

To you and to the both of us

That I didn’t see you never loved me back

And I was foolishly hopeless in love with you

That the truth was a blur to me

Now I know I was a prisoner

To my love for you

And I must let you go

Because it will continue to chain me down

If I kept loving you as long as I live

And I convinced myself after so long

That I was better off without you

And it was true.

I am better.

And I always will be

As long as you don’t come around.
