The Bird That Flew Away

Maybe you all have that one person you love the most but you don't want to cage him/her with you and the only option for you is to let them fly away happily.

She was a bird who knew only to fly

I couldn't hold onto her so she was tied

Her name was Precious and I was her superman

She told me that I was the only one

Precious was she like her name

Slowly and happily, lovers we became

She took me to the deepest place and then to the tallest mountains

To make me realize how the graph of our love was sketched

I saw my whole life in her eyes

When we danced on the streets full of lights

Silent we were often at times

Because words couldn't convey our love sometimes

We connected the broken bits and pieces that existed

And when we talked the time ceased

I looked at the mirror and the reflection was clear

Instead of my face, I saw her face appear

She was sad and I didn't understand why

Then, I knew something wasn't just right

 

And before I knew, she was in the air

Making me realize that I had lost my dear

But my love pulled her towards me

Because we loved each other dearly

A bird is meant to fly, so she flew away anyhow

She set up her wings and I asked her to make a vow

To fly away and never come again

Because from far away our love will still remain

I let her go because that was her fate

I accepted the fact that she couldn't stay

And away she went with every blink of my eye

My face was brightened with a smile this time

Because I didn't want to cage her with me

And at last, she was finally free (from me).

Author's Note

I would be very happy if anyone reading my poem reviewed it. P.S. Give me a very honest review. I'd be happy to listen from anyone.

It is a beautiful tale for sure! And we all do that, hold on to things too tightly! You readers will relate. The rhyming scheme needs quite a bit of work. Feels forced at times, and some words don't go as well together as you might think. But we all struggle in different ways so just keep writing and it will get easier.
