"The Free"

"The Free"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

I used to know you

The way your hand felt

The smell of your breathe

The way you would taste

II

So when I saw you

I found myself surprised

I felt nothing at all

Not even a little stirring inside

III

But I remember

How you brought me to my knees

And asked me to relinquish my crown

Asked me to be the beggar that I am

IV

I remembered but felt nothing

So I smiled at the once victorious

Forever free from Influence

Walking away from your possession
