A Heartache of Freedom

A heartache

sometimes

still shivers 

with last

bits of pain

 

I think

I am ok

I do

feel fine

really

 

So why

do you cry

when no tears

are visible

on your face?

 

I think

I worry 

I do

feel a bit 

scared

 

For what 

if happiness 

finally reached 

could have

its limits?

 

I think 

I am alright 

I do

feel safe

after all

 

Yet, it's 

just strange 

that after

all those years 

the battles are won

 

I think

I can breathe

I do

feel free 

at last
