I lay awake at night
And think to myself
What would it be like too?
Just be free again?
Free like the wind
That brushes through your hair
Free as the tears
That flow from your beautiful eyes
Oh how I wish I could taste that freedom
Like I used too, all those years ago
Oh how I dream of being free once again
To walk in the sun like any other man
Free as the birds
That fly in the sky
Free as the flowers
That you look upon with you welcoming grace
But alas I am locked in here
Away from the sunlight
And most importantly away from you!
I want to be free to be able to see you
Smile at me like you used too!
As I whisper "I love you"
I close my eyes
And picture you in my mind
Your beauty outshining the Goddess Aphrodite herself
You are the apple of my eye
The one I dream of holding in my arms every day and night
You're the main reason I live
The reason I haven't given up fighting for my freedom
I'll find my way back to you
Even if I need to fight the gods to do so
I promised you that I would someday return
And I am intending to keep that promise
But there is one thing I fear
After all these years that I've been gone
Have you stayed alone for me?
Or have you moved on?
Now my own free tears slipped from my eyes
At thought of you laying in another's arms tonight
As he whispered words of love in your ears
And kissed you with passion that would fill an empty hearts such as yours
But it kills me inside you know that you could've moved on
Yet I knew that you would
I knew that you wouldn't waste years of loneliness
Just to wait for my return
Yet I wish you did and maybe that's true
But how can I tell?
When I am locked away from you?
More tears fell
I wanted so badly to see you
To hold you in my arms as we slept by each other
I wanted to be free
Free as the winds, my tears that flowed freely now, the birds and flowers
However the gods wouldn't let me go
I was to be punished for my crimes against them
And being locked away from you, the sunlight and the moonlight
Was the very punishment
I knew I shouldn't have murdered that woman
And stolen her child
But I had a job that I had to do
To keep you safe from harm
And if that was the only way
I was more than willing to take it
Yet I remember the look of distrust that came to your face
When you found out what I had done
You yelled at me that I was such a fool
Maybe I was but just remember darling
I did all of that for YOU!
