Poetic Musing: Caged

Locked you in a cage,
Thought you will be mine forever.
Clutching the keys,
Tightly in my palm,
Obsessing ,
Brooding,
How I became,
An incessant vigilante, always on alert.
Now I realize,
How in this quest of mine,
I actually imprisoned my own self,
In the fear and obsession of losing you.
Now that the cage has been breached,

I have decided to set ourselves free,

So you be yourself,
And I be me.
