Cut the rope
Shake off the shackles
It is finish
Full heart
Forging ahead
Tired feet
Never gave up
Hands white wash
No guilt or shame
Hopeful eyes look to the future
No turning back©

How strange
This naked longing
That moves within me
Each hollow space
Devoid of emotion
Grasp a fleeting glimpse
Of what was
Ephemeral love©
Silvered bones
Degenerate
The body recluse
Into itself
Remembering the days
When life was simple
And hearts humbled©
She stood by him
Being the light
In his dark world
Loving him
No matter the cost
She had wings
Yet she refuses to fly©
There’s nothing left behind
All that I am
Can now be found
Here
With you
A promise kept
My days unassuming
Are now complete©

Drowning in a pool of my inner self
Unable to remember, to see clearly.
Time rob me of all I knew, everything I hold dear
Erased, like the dew that slips through at day break
So does memories of you.
I held them once; your memories,
They kept me through the years
Fading slowing, I tried to hold on.
I felt them now!
Deep down in the grey remains, I see your face
Smiling, bidding me to remember
To reach for what’s no longer there.
I reached out and touched loneliness
I smiled; knowing I can’t miss what’s not there.
Emptiness has filled the void where you once lived.
I knew you once!
I knew you when time was on my side
When promises burst open
And I fell deeply In love with you.
Now, remember me
As I was then
As I am now©
