Feather

I see you in my dreams sometimes
With your hands around my neck
Whispering sweet lies in my ear.
I held you tight, too afraid for the punishment I will receive.
Your claws dug deep.
And I couldn't hold on anymore.
The cuts too ugly and bloody to repair this time.
I let go.

And I felt like a feather!
I soured through the clouds and the trees for the first time in years.
Because you weren't choking me anymore.
I felt free. I felt happy.

I felt me.
