I Wanted To

I wanted to fly
   but someone ripped off my wings...
I wanted to shine in the light
   but someone put the lights out...
I wanted to walk over long distances
   but someone took away the land beneath my legs...
I wanted to write
   but someone slipped away my pen...
I wanted to climb up
   but someone pulled me down...
I wondered who was that
   Then one day I found that
“that someone was you”
    Someone whom I loved...
Someone who was my life...
    Someone who was my soul...
I wanted to be with you
    but you backed off…
I wanted to live
    but you took away my breath...
I wanted to love 
    but you ripped off my heart into pieces…
I wanted to...
