You'Ve Lost Me Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You'Ve Lost Me

Rating: 2.7


You've lost me!
And I've conceded.
My efforts to free you,
Were without your consent!
I now recognize...
That key I tossed to you,
To release you from your shackles...
In a bondage you find sweet.
Did not have the approval,
Of those who keep you suppressed!
I confess...
I did not gain their authorization!
You've lost me,
In comprehending your need
To remain enslaved!
But I do acknowledge the fact,
You are not aware of that!
And your addiction is best lived,
Oppressed!
And I find that no contest,
To challenge.
You win with my condolences.

We all become accustomed to our beliefs and formulated 'comfort zones'. A 'freedom' one may recognize, may be another's albatross! However, a confinement can only be acknowledged by the one who feels that way! To be free has to be one's determination! And an awareness of that has to be awakened within an individual. We may see and declare a bird trapped because it is caged. From our observation and understanding of entrapment. Perhaps from a prior experience. However, if the door opens to set that bird free, it may become fearful. Having not had that experience. It may, indeed, put up a struggle to be freed.

very emotional piece... I like it's honesty... loosing someone always goes hand in hand with misstrust... when people break up for infidelity issues, it's difficult to trust again...
