What Freedom Cost Me

I used to find happiness in you
But all of a sudden, I’m feeling blue
I can’t help but think I need more
than just being confined beyond close doors

I hesitate to let you know
But I can’t help but let it show
The burden that’s killing me inside
Is something I can’t really hide

All of a sudden, you hold me
tears falling down from your face, slowly
Then you whispered to me gently
“My love, be free. Go and be happy”

And so I run without looking back 
I jump for joy as I join  my pack
We play all day under the sun
We hop, we jump, without ceasing, we run

But when the sun sets and it gets dark
When the moon rises in the midnight sky
when the wolf howls and the dogs bark
My heart starts to ache and I can’t help but cry

The regret creeps in my heart like poison 
like a soft song, sang in unison
As the chilly wind sends shivers down my spine
I long for those days when you used to call me “mine”

And now that you are so far away
I am feeling down, sad, and astray
I wonder if this is worth it you see 
I wonder “What my freedom cost me?”
