Freedom

I feel so tired but I can't sleep

Too many thoughts and feelings running deep

Too much love and hate I'm growing weak

Too much confusion I'm losing it quietly, not a peep...

 

A whisper of promise spoken in my ear and then broken in my heart

Grown in my soul and then ripped apart

My mama said love would set me free

If love is supposed to set me free, then why did love put me in shackles, put me in chains, put me behind bars so I'll never feel freedom again?

 

Maybe my love deserves to be chained

Maybe somebody gained that special key to my locket and kept it in his pocket until the day he can unlock it and set me free

 

So I guess my mama was right after all

Maybe love does set you free

A nice poem. Well written. Presumably the person talking is the one waiting to fall in love, or something similar? In any case, an enjoyable read!
