Soar

Written by Jacob Ibrag

She’s angry with me, staring

into my eyes as if I’ve betrayed

hers. She wants me to move my

lips and give her a reason to

stagnate, a reason for her to stay

with we. Trying to remain silent,

I slip and whisper that it’s because

I love her that she can’t stay, that

she’s not the broken winged bird I

found in the rain. She thinks that I

changed her, that I made her better.

 ‘Couldn’t be farther from the truth.

All I did was recognize your heart.

My love, you were destined for so

much more. Break free. Soar.’
