Poetry / The Child Inside

I’d wait for you forever,
‘til my life comes to an end.
But you set rules and boundaries
and just refuse to bend.

I hate the one who loved you first
so very long ago
for leaving you with such a thirst
that taints love you could know.

You’re locked in time and now you play
a game of hide-and-seek,
portray a strong and caring man
but in a way, you’re weak.

Don’t base your life on things before
Just use them as a guide.
Let feelings flow and fears dissolve
Just open up inside.

So many times I’ve told you how
I love you even though
you’ve made it clear you don’t want me;
I have to let you go.

So if by chance you think of me
someday, I hope you’ll see
that love is more than what you think -
it truly sets you free.
