I leapt from high heights,
Into your embrace.
With love came long nights,
And aspiration of space.

Never before had I done such,
As lied to myself.
Nothing came from each touch,
Another book on the shelf.

I had always been told,
Love comes with war.
This was becoming too cold,
I glared at the door.

Through the clouds in my mind,
Few thoughts stood out.
With me you shined,
Without me you’d shout.

It was my entire fault,
As you had led me to believe.
Your tires tore asphalt,
As I begged you not to leave.

I thought I made you satisfied,
As you assumed you did to me.
But with you I lost my pride,
And my freedom to merely be.

Many nights were spent in tears,
As I wrote to you my moods.
I could not tell my peers,
In fear of farther feuds.

One night as I vented,
Reality shone through the fog.
Slowly it cemented,
The truth arose from our prologue.

Life without you entered my head,
Many times the preceding week.
Minus you no tears would be shed,
My true self felt antique.

You could not understand,
Where we had gone wrong.
This is not what you had planned,
I needed to be strong.

You were not my hitch anymore,
I was on my own.
My life waiting to be explored,
Nothing is set in stone.
