Standing on a bridge with the wind blowing my hair
Across my lips that you want to kiss
I walk slowly
It’s still not enough so that you can catch up
My freedom means everything to me and nothing to him
He ties bricks to my feet and hands
And over me, he stands
Falling through gravity with the wind blowing my hair
Across my face that you want to see
I fall slowly
It’s still not enough so that you can save me
My ties mean everything to me and nothing to him
He pushes me off the edge
And between us, he inserts the wedge
Crashing into the sea with the water soaking my hair
Into the curls that you want to touch
I sink slowly
It’s still not enough so that you can float
He wants to see me die
And then, the bricks untie
Drowning in a puddle with the water soaking my lungs
Into a dead sleep that you wish to feel
I breathe slowly
It’s still not enough so that you can live
He likes what he sees
And between us, he doesn’t know he’s setting me free
