Let me sing

Let me sing

It's over.
We know now.
Our love's run it's course.
It's time to accept i'm a three legged horse.
We struggled,
through Hell!
Tried so hard to work.
But i'm just a loser and you're just a jerk.
The soles
of my feet
are slashed from the shells
I walk on, each time your disgust in me tells.
"It's cool."
"It's okay."
There's "no problem" you say.
Then why are we growing more distant each day?
I finally see!
I cannot compete!
With the image that your dream expects me to meet.
So please?
Let me go?
Untether my wings?
For if kept in a cage.....
              A bird never sings.
