Freedom

You always had the freedom
You didn't have to pound on my chest
You never had any consideration
You always did what for you was best

Now why complain
That I left you in pain
While all I did
Was open the lid

To let the maggots fly
For they have lived on festered feast
For long enough
They have to see what comes from the east

Sunlight moonlight
and all the lights
that come from the stars
from far away nights

Nights that were spent in whispering
Sweet nothings as clichéd as they can be
Nights that were spent
Until the morning hours were wee

Come home Come home
I cried every night
Not because I was consumed
By loneliness and fright

But because that's what good girls do
If you didn't know it already
Then why did did you nod
When I asked if you were steady

Now everything we built to last
Has broke and gone to bad
And now I think
What good times we could've had

My memory fails me these days
Not because I drank a lot
But because my mind tries to hide away
The deceit that's filled my every pot
