Independence


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
