Your freeness takes me back, to a dark place,

I care not to feel, wish to be;

For I once felt—joy, that was real, true, clear,

Like I was a beautiful reflection, of the great,

Magnificent you: Then I found myself, listening,

To Asian blues, trying to block those tainted thoughts,

That weren’t, so nice, kind, friendly, made me feel,

Deep blues: Your freeness takes me, to another place,

That was so hollow, deep, foul, like I wasn’t me,

Anymore, a journey—a path, that opens, old scar,

Old wounds, that I thought was healed,

I did not want to face, try to escape, from the memory,

Of the madness of a dysfunctional you!!
