Setting you free, this lingering fantasy
Chicken and fox, turtle and bee, this cannot be, this you and me
Setting you free, love at its peak
For one mound makes a she incomplete
Setting you free, unwrapped, untainted
Safely back to the One from whence you were dated
Setting you free, retrieving my heart
I must have two, for I already have one
Setting you free, this eagle is homesick
Nestled, unready, and afraid of heights
Setting you free, I love you, you love me
Sadly, love isn’t all it takes for us to be

I love the setting you free theme. It’s funny how people claim to be setting others free when, in fact, they’re setting themselves free.

It occurred to me too ‘Crayfish’, and I must confess that several times I asked myself if I wasn’t masking my own selfishness in the title. When I thought of the fact that by remaining in something I wasn’t happy in, I was keeping not only myself but the other party ‘bound’………

Very true… No one should stay bound by anyone/anything, not even love…
