Pendulous Mind

I want to break free from the bounds of your smothering love and the conforms of this life I want to break free from molding to the path you take and your presumptions of me I want to break free from the facade of demureness and sprint for insolent gratification I want to break free from the shackles of our vows and diffuse into the mists of solitude I want to break free from the cage of this marriage and plummet from the pedestal you have placed me on I want to break free from the norms of the family and delve into the depths of quiescence With the four words you said, Honey, I'm home, Your voice drifts into my ears jolting me from the slumber of trechery leading me away from the precipitous cliff to a serene meadow, our meadow, our home I laugh at the wild swings of my pendulous mind, as I uncover the roots of our endearment Ending my eternal wanderings forever I am glad to be with you, Honey, I'm home too!
