Freedom

 

I was thinking about you

And her

Your new life

 

And I smiled

Invited the jealousy in

I sat with her

 

We became friends

I made love to her

Shared a cup of hot chocolate

 

Until I discovered

She was not here

To knock me down

 

But to teach me

To abide

In my own gifts

 

And in an act of great love

I released her

And she...me

 

And here I live

Hovered on the edge

Of freedom

 

To the point where I have forgotten

What brought me here

In the first place
