Freedom.

Oh you can run now, I'm setting you free
So for once in your life, accept gratefully
Ignore every time I proclaimed in the past
My arms open wide will, again, be the last
I said that before I won't say it anymore
I'd mean what I say, then you'd knock at my door
I'd open it up, let you in, let you lie, let you
Sleep in my arms hoping dawn won't come by
But morning did come with the realisation
Your eyes spoke a tale through a brief hesitation
Tsunami of regrets and self preservation
But at long last I've healed, I'm a brand new creation
Awash with tranquility, peace I never knew that
Exists beyond chases and captures from you
Stood still for too long and in sunk the teeth
You leeched at my neck, you wouldn't let me breathe
But those where the days I was happy to die for
I'd rather you kill me than leave me to cry.
A poisoned nostalgia begins to creep in then 
Proceeds to inject itself under my skin
How the tables have turned, I've become the snake
The skin you infected has begun to flake
I'm shedding the moments, the heartbreak, the lust
The love and the hate now united as dust
So hard to accept this was never meant to be
So go, you can run now, I promise you're free.
