Set me free

Through the open window the breeze comes in.
It settles on my naked skin.
You’re close, closer than you’ve ever been.
I can feel it – within.

Your presence seeps into me.
You will never set me free.

The night hides your daily dose of pain.
I would take it off you, but every time I try, it is in vain.
I wait for you; each and every night, again and again.
You became the most tenacious, reappearing part on me – a stain.

You’re more than I will ever be.
You will never set me free.

No begging and pleading will make these memories go away.
And even when our bodies part and our souls go astray,
There will always be a reason why we met that day.
And a reason why I couldn’t stay.

You are nothing more than a distant fading memory.
One, that will never set me free.
