Hostage

"Hostage"

You held me in your hands as best you could

Me, a shell of who I was

Searching for love and redemption

My trust was that you would be ever so careful

You were my rebirth and that was unfair

No one figured it would be easy

Least of all us

We said we would be different

I guess I always knew

My created burden was too much

It seems I was too broken for you to fix

For you to carry

For you manage next to your own needs

I don’t fault you

I just pray my cracks have not spread into your world

I hope you smile beyond me

And without me

I release you from the prison my love has created

You are no longer mine

You are free
