The Free

I was all alone and death was near.

His plan was to heal me and then let me go.

A reprieve from my harsh reality.

Food. Warmth. Safety.

Just us.

It’s temporary and one day I’ll be forced to go home.

But I don’t I want to go back.

I want him to keep me. To tame and love me.

Freeing the wild comes with grave consequences.

He thinks they’ll cage him for being with me.

Our love’s not right.

They won’t understand it.

Forbidden. Immoral. Perverse. Vile.

I don’t care what they think.

It should only matter to us.

We are innocent and beautiful and worthy.

Love is wild.

And we’re going to set it free.
