Once Bound Now Free

Each morning I awoke,
Chained, by the shackles of your love,
Your words; the bars of my prison,
Until you chose to set me free.

Uncertain I stepped forth,
Beyond the threshold,
The world before me,
Empty and unfamiliar.

Timid and hesitant,
Afraid of my loneliness,
Craving a reunion denied,
Despairing of reclaiming myself.

A warily aching heart,
Nights without your formerly
Burning presence in the gloom,
Yet intuition did relieve desolation.

Sentiments unfathomably immoral,
Failed to settle in my heart,
In mind a longing for completion,
Unfulfilled.

No broken heart,
For it was ever incomplete,
Look back without regret.
Easy to forget, better to forgive.
