caging the animal.

You left her there, alone. What did you expect her to do? Did you expect her to sit and wait patiently for years and years while you lived your life the way you wanted before you decided it was time to pay attention to her? A young, vibrant woman put in a corner to be locked away in a tower on display only. You act surprised and hurt that she decided to live her life, to break free of the shackles of loneliness and become what she once was, ALIVE. To feel what everyone needs and craves- affection, friendship, passion, and love. You still beg her to be yours, to live this one sided fairy tale. To live by your rules, your way of thinking. This is a woman who cannot be tamed, she is wild, carefree. She was a wild animal trapped in a cage only to break free. You were naive in thinking that you could keep her away from life, from being herself. From being so full of tenacity and over whelming spirit. It is painful lesson you still haven't learned.
