"Within my heart lies no light tragedy. When you walked out the door, you took half of me. I've been running in a circle for miles, trying to get it back, you see. Though I never imagined I'd be a slave, working in love's factory. Long hours, sleepless nights, but no complaints; I work happily. My hands swell and my feet ache as I wonder if you'd ever break your back for me.. My thoughts of you are constant and overwhelming, distractingly. My mind ticking like a timed bomb; my heart branded by ACME. No more thinking about 'what ifs' ; time to focus on 'what is' ..if I'm ever going to get back to me. I just want to be free. Use your key, open my cage and step back some feet. Let me spread my wings, fly beyond the we. We used to be. When it's dark, watch the stars, see my face in the sky--with you, I'll always be. When you're ready, open your eyes, you'll see; I won't change the locks, so just keep the key. When I tire, I'll land and meet you back here, on the count of three. There's only 1 way I know to love you: endlessly. 2 hearts beating in sync. 3 words on mental repeat: I love you. Essentially. With every part of me. Sewn together in love's factory, no wonder she hired me."
