Coffee Memories: Sweetened Black

free

a chained soul
trying to get out
past triggering
nothing to do

darkness befalls
blurred future
doubting if i'll survive
the mental torture

no key has ever found
to finally set me free
hoping one day
she'll find me

afraid i'd get stuck
of doubts and lies
these petty fights we had
no longer i felt love

inhumane gestures
i thought was still normal
until i met someone
who had the same fate as i

another chained soul
trapped in a cell
full of laughter with tears
imperfectly perfect, still

mentally abused
of people she loved
but she still looked glowing
despite of it all

how her eyes twinkle
whenever she'd make me laugh
to ease the tension
in this shared dimension

it felt right saying my darkest secrets
it felt right hugging her here
it felt right i welcomed her to me
it felt right as if i am free

confused if we felt the same
confused if i should let go the other
oh, how i wish this is easy
especially this feeling

a man in a cage
seeking of pure happiness
so simple,
yet so hard to grab

sighing as i fight these demons
already torturing myself
but despite of it all
i have her in this hellhole

a few months later
this new girl has set me free
all this time keeping the key
of pure joy and sanity

slowly my wounds have healed
broken promises stitched
escaped in the lonely abyss
with no other choices

i might be fighting demons
but i guess i'm not the only one
someone finally sees
who and what i am being free
