Melancholy of a Solitary Bird
The weight of my heart feels heavy,
As I watch you talk about leaving.
A pit of despair swallows me whole,
As I imagine a world without you, alone and cold.
Every whispered word of freedom,
Feels like a death knell for our love.
I try to understand your longing,
But the pain of losing you makes my heart feel strung.
Am I not enough to make your heart sing?
Is this partnership not worth the fight?
These questions taunt and sting,
As I try to make sense of your sudden flight.
The crushing weight of heartbreak rests heavy on my chest,
As I hear you speak of freedom, of leaving all the rest.
My mind races with fears, with questions left unasked,
As I watch my happiness shatter, an impossible task.
What of all the dreams we shared,
the plans we made for life?
The hurt and pain of these thoughts cut deep within my soul,
As I witness your desire for freedom,
as you plan to tow a different role.
The thought of you moving away,
of leaving me behind,
Rips my life apart,
my heart in desperate bind.
