A Wish for Regret.A Poem by Lydia
A wild creature Tied down loses all beauty, Loses her existence Loses her passion, Thoughts, and self. I am tied down With loving ropes Que j’adore, Mais, I am dying, I am dead. We are dead. We are all dead. Heaving chests are Full of nothing, Air does not exist, Only sorrow, Only regret that Refuses to come To the door of my heart. Repentance does not Show his face. Crimes I have committed Go unnoticed, unquestioned, And I am angry. I am in love. I do not want These ropes around me, For without legs I cannot run, Without wings I cannot fly. I want to fly, See the world from above the sky. I want to run wild, But you refuse, Holding tighter on the noose. I love you but Wild things Can’t stay put, Can’t settle down. I could settle in, Making you breakfast, And going to bed, But Lord knows, If that’s what’s called ‘life’, I’d rather be dead. © 2008 LydiaReviews
