Now this one is an original. These are my words.
What I'm about to write are words I would love
to say to my wife and have her actually HEAR.
She listens but it seems like she never gets the message.

Free
by Jim Miller

I saw you in a prison.
I found a key.
You took it from me
and used it to break free.

For the first time
in your life
you got to see
the world in color
and not just black and white.

I treasured every second
that I finally saw you live
then I watched you retreat
using me as your chains.
You blamed all on me.
Lover I only have so much to give.

You are alive.
When will you finally live?

You scream that
you want to be free.
You ask me again for a key.
There's no need for one,
your jail cell is open.
Have some courage,
walk on out into the light.
Be who you really want to be.

I cannot free you.
You have to free yourself.
I already gave you a key.

You say you want to dance.
I want to see you dance.
I want you to revel in
the music life has in
store for you instead
I see you make your prison
stronger, any excuse will do.

Brick by brick stone by stone
I see you build a lonely home
and surround yourself with
bars of gray. All I can
do is watch, I am left
to watch and pray for
the day you walk away
from your prison and
into my waiting arms.

I cannot free you.
You have to free yourself.
I already gave you a key.

What are you waiting for?
