When I opened my eyes
You were gone.
I waited for the pain
But none came.
There was a hollowness
An empty void
An open space...
And when I let myself dwell there
Without judgement or condemnation
The hollowness eased
And in its place...
Came possibility.
A flickering hope
A creative spark.
I breathed in -
I breathed out -
And the spark took hold.
I threw off the covers
And planted my feet on the ground
My hands reached for my notebook and pen
On the blank page I poured out my soul
Let my imagination take me
Swirl around me
Heal me.
When I felt the full release
I paused...
The last line pulsed at me
You are better off
And when I moved over my thoughts
I knew those words spoke TRUTH
I was better off
You leaving was a blessing, not a curse.
I was free of your confinement
I was free of your rules and expectations
Things I could never measure up to...
I was free to re-discover
My Self.
I wish you well, but I also thank you
For opening my eyes to what I really want...
My creative spirit to soar.
