I'm sorry that I cannot tell you why I'm not free like you.
I've redesigned my entire being
My foundation is now drying
Cracking at the edges.
I've left my bones out to rot
I've sewed my face out of something that is not meant for this. It's stiff with emotion
But I do not feel
I am not free like you.
My ribs did not melt with the rest of my bones,
I've made a cage out of me
My old bones, who I used to be
And I still can't tell you why I'm not free.
The light inside of this cage is not me
I'm afraid of who I've become, afraid to see.
I cannot see
Because I was scared, so I took my eyes out of their sockets and gave them to someone in need.
My eyes were green
And now they're gone
The light inside is broken
And that's when you came
And tried to fix it
And when you did
I couldn't pay you
I was broke and out of order.
I searched my soul and found one thing
My heart was in the corner.
And now I'm saying why I'm not free
It's because of you.
I am now cold
With metal sticks
Instead of bones
I am so hollow
I am alone.
I am gone, far away
Looking for another way
For me to see, for me to feel
Please don't go, I'm not done
Yet you left,
Left me here
I have rotted
My wings are rusted
I cannot go.
I am sorry
