They say

“Don’t let someone else’s fear of flying

keep you from the sky.”

But you clipped my wings

when I was young,

so I guess it doesn’t matter.

 

They say

“If you love something, let it go.”

But you caged me

and crushed my spirit

and we agree to call it love anyway.

 

They say,

“Time heals all wounds.”

But I doubt I’ll live long enough

for that.
