|  |  | Cutting The Ropes (Free verse) by darylchew
 
 Mirrors everywhere, reflecting the light.
I see my reflection in all of them - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Confused, I try to seek for the real me.
I see that in you.
You with the open heart, 
the nurse who cares and loves.
yet with a swift cut.
you break down the barrier built by hate.
And for once I'm free.
Seemingly opposite feelings I feel for you.
You tie me down like a rock.
I am the beautiful kite who doesn't fly,
bound by sad ropes to a rock.
Now, if I told you, would you let me go?
No, no way, hold on to me saying "I want you"
I understand your needs, I felt them before,
but the clouds in the blue sky beckon to me - I need to soar.
Still bound by ropes, I cannot leave.
Crying my tears of hate, this false front breaks down.
Then suddenly, surprisingly, the sad ropes snap.
A warm thermal current picks me up, and I fly, to the heavens above.
To where I want to be.
The rock smiles, showing it's jagged teeth.
I love you.
