Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary. ~Kahlil Gibran

The Dark Side of Free- 11/3/2011


They don't say that free means
alone
They don't tell you how it feels
to know that there's nobody home

Free means
fearful
self conscious
and tearful

I didn't know that free means
nowhere to go
that it feels like
dying
so slow

They never say that free means
missing you
even with all the nasty shit
you used to do

You didn't tell me that free meant
hurting
you too
That Id feel
guilty
even though my reasons were true

They never say that free means
Still having love
for you
