Letting Go

August 10, 2015

Letting Go

Today I carry the burden 
Of letting you free from my mind
Yet 
My fist is tight with anguish.
Vision clouded with uncertainty 
Shoulders tired from carrying you
Yet
I fight the battle for you over and over
In my mind
I want us to be whole
Free to wonder the earth
Breathing all it has to offer
Yet
You are broken
Peering through stained dreams 
Of a caged mockingbird 
Broken
I have to go now
Open arms
Eyes wide open
Fists un cinched 
Today
I carry the burden
Which no longer 
Buries me
And 
Holds me hostage 
To emptiness 
Good bye love
