Escape to be Free

Every day, again, and again

You fall back,

back to the life you once lived,

back to the one who said,

            “I love you”

It is wrong,

but so right.

You say, yell, scream,

            NO. . . NO. . . NO. . .

yet it never stops.

Try and run,

get away.

Somehow he is always there.

You could run for days, weeks

somehow he would always be there. 

Push him away

you try,

he will never leave.

Rejection, pain, sorrow,

nothing, nothing works

nothing to drive him away,

away from you.

Will you ever be free!

Ask for help,

help to get away,

to be free.

Ask for help,

so you can be yourself. Again.

Be free to live.

Be free to find.

Be free to have the one,

who truly says

            “I love you”
