Notes About The Poem

Breaking Free

"I don't always show it the right way
But you know I love you. Give me just one more 
Chance to be the man you've always wanted me to be
Please, don't leave. I'll never take you for granted again"

----------His plea.

"It's too late for second chances. If I don't leave now, 
I'll stay trapped under your tentacles. I'm done. I've had it  
 with your controlling ways. So like trees that shed their leaves,  
and flowers shed their petals, I rid myself of you, at last." 

----------Her reply.
