Loss

Leaving you behind me
Has caused me to notice things


The sun still sets 
Floral hues shine brighter
I pause more 
When you're gone


I listen 
Music moves me to tears again
I stand in awe of beautiful things
Living life humbles me


I want to feel
Even when I don't choose to
I feel 


The loss of my old friend
How do I mourn thee
I don't


I am not sorry
I did not say goodbye
I had to go and you know it
With you I die


I will never
Forget 
You


I choose life
Freedom 
Vulnerability 


I am now safe
From you
I no longer cling to you
To fill every need


I no longer run, hide, strive
Negotiate, wrestle, lie...
With you


I just be
I just BE
Me
