Liberated Heart
and i was the one who bore
the dread of saying goodbye-
the woman who eased my
own heart and shattered yours
with those five shocking words…
“i don’t love you anymore.”
i was bound to free you from
me eventually-
you were bound to love me
as long as you possibly could.
and into the ebon night i
erased our stars just as they
were aligning into orion’s
constellation.
the loss of you bestowed onto
me intense alleviation,
the loss of me broke your
wings as you were ready to fly.
sounds of your despair ricocheted
off my liberated heart.
