RELATIONSHIPS: LOVE, HEARTACHE, AND BETRAYAL

SET ME FREE

At seventeen
The darkness came
I went outside myself
Or was I inside
Why was I there
Was I, am I, a bad person

Love put me there
Or did it
He caused my pain
Poor choices
His or mine
Or both

Was it love
or infatuation
I thought it was
love
But now I'm not
so sure

He left
I was heartsick
So
I followed
We argued
I left

Love gone wrong
I was haunted
I wanted relief
from the pain
Set me free
Just set me free
