Trapped was I,

every day I would sigh,

waiting for you to show,

but now it’s time for you to go.

 

Freedom of you,

you were like a weird zoo,

reaching through your phone,

and now I am as cold as stone.

 

There you go again,

filling me with different pain,

I now have seen the sign,

leaving you was fine.

 

Ripped my heart for the longest time,

but now it’s time for me to climb,

getting away from your terror,

you made the biggest error.

 

My freedom is like being able to fly,

but somehow I still cry,

pumping through me is this drive,

you made me feel truly alive.

 

Sadly I have to move on,

all I see in you now is this con,

don’t come and find me all you’ll get is hardly anything,

because all you will get is a no from this new king.

 

In this poem, a young man has his heart broken by a young lady. They fell deeply in love, but the young lady decided to leave and to steal a piece of him for her own benefit. He can’t get away until he discovers that the only way to get away is to forget about her. Leaving her was the best choice, now he can set sights on his true vision. His freedom is the best feeling to him because being held like a hostage felt like nothing in the world would free him from this prison he called love. The only problem with his new found freedom is that the true love was between them so he cannot get her out of his aching mind.  Luckily he has the strength to overcome the thoughts racing through his mind and calls her a con in his life. When I mean con I use it as an obstacle in his own path to his dreams. In the last two lines, he addresses her saying if you try to come back into my life all you are going to get is the answer of no. I hope you enjoyed my free choice poem if you want to see more of my poetry work go to my flash poetry section if you have any questions about my post please write a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
