I held on tight
and wept in your arms.
I felt free.
Really free.
The free that lets go
of years of collected tears.
Like a hammer to a swollen piggy bank
of saved emotions. My tears became pieces of porcelain shattered upon your chest.
Each piece was a part of me I held on to for a future I didn’t know was here.
I wept.
Each breath howling testimonies of forgotten hurts.
I inhaled your words and let go
of a fear that my past was too much to handle.
I inhaled your love
and exhaled love I kept reserved.
My chest burned as if it were opening from a melodic password I wasn’t aware of.
I felt lifted.
My heart exploded light.
And in your arms,
I felt loved.
