Sweet Freedom

All the brokenness

that followed me

trailed me around

All the weariness

a spell broken

in one night

The spell is gone

The curse is

finally, lifted

How long

did I wait

for love to wake

How long did I mourn

while my heart,

life, were scorned

Freedom is sweet

oh, sweet love,

ah, sweet relief
