Bachelorette

I found me when I lost you
Can’t explain why I feel free
Never was unwilling or untrue
I just feel that sky is freeing

And believing myself to be spiritually 
Free as a red herring how
Could I ever be caged willingly

I eagerly embrace a loveless cage
One where no handcuff wedding ring is placed
On my finger to linger and cement my place
Oh how could I make this mistake 

I’m a bachelorette in satin dress
Happy to be pursued unwilling to be glued
To another’s idea of who
I am supposed to be for him for me
I’m a bird who hates the cage of matrimony

'I found me when I lost you' resonates so well with me. In fact, even when the loss weighs heavy on my heart, it eventually sets me free. Bravo! :) Gershon
