HELLO YOU

Hello, you
It feels as though we passed
In another world
The opening, the connection
Secure, but gone
Why did I stop hearing you
Did my presence offend
I watch you spread your wings
You flew in fire, yet remained
I was in awe of your vicissitudes
Flowing without notice
As though the child was assigned armor
I wanted to know you always
But jaded eyes sat upon you
And a sharp sword cut your line
If they don't like you
You can't be mine
Divorce is worse than death
But restoration has placed you in my heart
And now...I can breathe again in peace
