Set Me Free Poem by Joshua Akinwande

I came to you because I loved you

I stretched my arm of friendship and you warmly welcomed me

And since that day, my life had undergone a metamorphic change

Renewed for the future with a focus of unwavering concentration

I gave you all I had for that moment

I told you all I ever knew and been through

I was committed to the friendship because I believed in you

Always saw you as some kind of heavenly angel on earthly assignment

But along the way I found out I was alone

Though I could find your body around

But your spirit and soul were far gone away

I knew I was caged because I had given my all

I needed someone to set me free

Who would set me free? For I was drawn in the ocean of love

I had withdrawn every other thing except my heart of love

It kept longing for you, more, more and more

Who would set me free? Set me free.
