Wings

You taint me with your

"Good intentions"

You'd look better if...

I'd prefer it if...

If you love me you would...

Forgive?

Forget?

I transformed

From a malleable caterpillar

Into a beautiful butterfly

with its wings tied

You made it so I could not fly

From you

I became dependent

I looked to you on how to dress

To eat

To breathe

Till I learned how to evade

And weave masterful lies

Then I punish myself

For not being strong enough

To fight

Or leave

Because

I must be at fault

But somewhere

In the twisted web, you spun

You became dependent too

And I took that chance

Closed my eyes

And I cut the strings that held my wings

Flew away

On the wind of your cries

If you loved me

You'd come back, they said

But I never did.
