Healing

Always aching, the absence hurts so deep.
Broken silence where sweet memories sleep.
Crying comes, a necessary flood.
Darkest days misunderstood.
Empty space where laughter used to bloom.
Finding strength to leave the lonely room.
Gradually, the sharpest pain gives way.
Hoping brightens with each passing day.
Inside, a quiet calm begins to grow.
Joy is fragile, moving soft and slow.
Kindness learned—to self, and to the past.
Lessons linger; built to truly last.
Moments spent now focused just on me.
New directions, wild and wide and free.
Open doors to possibilities unseen.
Peace returns, serene and ever green.
Quiet comfort in the solitude.
Reaching out for all the good I've viewed.
Sunlight warms a spirit long denied.
Togetherness, but self is now my guide.
Understanding sets the old pain free.
Vibrant soul discovers destiny.
Wisdom gained from battles fought and won.
Xenial future, now the work is done.
Yearning turns to love for who I am.
Zenith reached, escaping the old jam.
