* * * *
tonight I leave love
everything I held dear
tonight I leave hope
there is nothing more
for me here
finally free
memories of tenderness
reminders of how
our love could be
I see my path open beyond
boundaries of you and me
finally understanding
that I am worthy
of loving myself
more than I have loved you.
believing in all that I am
knowing complete
have done all I can do
fresh breeze
brings me to this place
To be filled with
strength and grace
no longer will I cower
to your displeasure
now holding my self
as my greatest treasure
pain still fresh..
sap dripping from my heart
will harden now
In defence of my pride
hurt and sorrow.
new paths unfold
before my breath
mists part so I may rest
my tender being
for this night
I await fresh pain
upon daylight
I seek strength complete
to guide me thru
this inevitable act
of leaving you
