Dying To Be Free Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

Right now I'm dying to be free
I don't belong here anymore
It's just not the best use of me
I care about her, but its easy to see
I don't love her romantically
I don't feel warmth from her
Or serenity
She never truly loved me
Never saw me for me
It's time for another chapter of the story
Instead of the obligatory
Though at this precarious age
I'm afraid to turn the next page
For fear it will be a bigger mistake
In search of something real, I'm liable to find fake
But it seems a chance I have to take
To escape this constant longing and heartache
All I want is a love that's true
Where one is formed by two
Two hearts who wish to start anew
Who learned about things from being blue
I hope she's someone just like you
Who is kind and caring through and through
I never needed a partner...somehow feeling alone I got by
Somewhere along the way I gave up on love; Don't know why!
Now I see it's the one thing for which I long
Without it life seems empty, as if I don't belong
But I've got a lot to share still inside
I just took it hard and had too much pride
But now I feel my heart returning
Ready to open up wide
Before I leave this earth I need to share the love inside.
I've finally run out of placest to hide
I never was noticed for all the times I tried
Somewhere a part of me died
