Freedom from Pain

You lied to me.
You let me down.
I trusted you, without a doubt.

In a cage you kept.
Not physically but mentally.
In all those years.
You controlled my mind.
My thoughts and all my feelings.

But its okay.
You let me go.
At last you gave me freedom.
Those hurtful words you said to me.
Somehow it let me see.
It wasn’t love.
But an obsession you planted inside of me.

So I thank you for, this I learned
Although it was the hard way.
Good things come to those that wait.
Impatience leads to hurt, and pain.
