BU

I was tied to a red balloon
and flew around the world
to find a place next to you
giving up my mindset
just to stand in the place
I thought I belonged
but sometimes I was wrong
and what I wished for was never right
and I'm never going to learn
how to break myself free from
your favorite colored balloon
if I'm still stuck waiting
around for you
in storage closets, underground
subways, and sometimes
at the parties you used to drag me too.
but I want you to untie me
from the dreams I hold
and the hopes I had for you
promise me you won't let
someone take my place
even if it's not beside you,
close to you, or a breath apart?
let me go gently into the clouds
as I stop loving you.
