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
