Your words have faded from memory
I am left hollowed out
Your skill at severing the cord
Not a clean cut
You will see my face in the morning I think
Come rain or shine
I will not be there as a reminder
But as a supporter
Telling you, this time not saying a word
I support your healing by coming here
As I always did
Know that I will no longer reach out after this moment
I move on, as I wish you had
You from your unfeeling cover, to me
And me from your absence, to now
I will not let my hurt stop me from healing
The hurt that holds my heart prisoner
Even though your’s is a different jailer
We both built a similar prison
No heart truly means to do harm, it‘s not in their nature
But choice is
Remember the words given to you in open exchange
They are a rare gift
I remember yours
As life holds more back, only in choice
I chose as I do now, to give you these words
Heal your heart and take whatever time you need
I won’t be here when you are done
I’ll be there when you call. I can’t be.
