This is NOT another sad love song
that’s meant to leave you feeling blue--
It’s just a reflection of a fairytale
That wasn’t written to come true.

Started off hot and heavy,
As most people always do..
We called it love at first sight
And we milked it as it grew.

Kissing, Holding hands,
Making love through out the nite--
Love morphed into bitter words,
Lack of affection, --pretending its all right.

Out in public, a façade of perfect bliss
always happy, painted smiles on our face
but distrust and lack of understanding
replaced frowns in the smiles’ place.

You not seeing the me inside of me-
no matter how many times you looked
Me not helping the you inside of you
Left our romance overcooked.

Scarce moments of true happiness,
a few sincere happy notes of laughter
Momentarily, blinded us to the truth
That lust comes first, and LOVE comes after

And although there were good times,
Many memories I shared with you
If every good thing comes to an end
Surely this one had to too.

This is not another sad love song
Or a depressing goodbye as we depart--
It’s my proclamation of emancipation
From the shackles of your heart…

Baby I’m Free!
