Icarus

Icarus

Who am I?

Who am I now?
I’m not the man I was before
You’ve changed something
Done something big
You’ve opened up a door
One that I purposely closed
I locked up all my emotions
Put them where they could do no harm
You came in and found my hiding place
You spread all my hidden baggage around
Then you left
I am such a mess
I can’t seem to get it back behind that door
I locked myself away
I did it for a reason
Now my emotions have gotten the better of me
I have acted in accord with my feelings
I don’t regret the things I have done
I just wish I could have kept you
 
She was an albatross around my neck
She probably always will be too
But you were my redemption
My reason d’être
But you couldn’t handle the criticism
 
So you’ve left me with a mess
You’ve left me confused
But worst of all you have her all the weapons she needed to hurt me
You gave her access to you

Late bloomer

I thought I was the adult I had the years that is without question But experience and wisdom Those were yours
Something; more or less
