You know those people?
Who chose to be alone?
Live a free life?
They say things like
I’m a lone wolf
I don’t need a man in my life
Being single empowers me
People look at them and think
I want to be them
I don’t wanna give a care about love
I wanna be free
18 years
That’s 216 months
That’s 936 weeks
That’s 6574 days of “freedom”

Love
If you can hear me Love
Enslave me Love
Rid me of my freedom and take me away
Take me to a place where all thoughts, actions and moments are run by you
Then give me the key to another man
Yes another MANs shackles
Let us hold the key to each other’s chains, What holds us down
But let us never free one another Love
Beat us, shame us work for your selfish gain
Let us need each other, crave each other
Because in this slavery all we have is one another

Strip us naked love
Let u not be driven by lust, but by YOU Love
And as we share this intimate moment
That you Love, you inspired
Take away every last bit of freedom we have

Push us to the edge love
Push me and this beautiful man to the edge
Make us wish we had our freedom back
Freedom we can relinquish to each other
Freedom we can give by releasing each other’s chains
And Saying I’m done

But stop there love
Don’t set me free
For even if this beautiful man sets me free
I could never free him
I could never forget him
I could never let him go

But please Love I beg you
Free me of my freedom
And this
Independence
