I loved you.
It was like waking up to brush my teeth,
Eating my meals
And taking showers
You were my oxygen,
Used to feel I cannot breathe without you,
Used to can't think without you
It has been for 5 years I have loved you
Till one eventual day
I dared to look into the mirror
To stare at my reflection
And realised I could think on my own
At that moment,
I finally knew I could breathe without you.
It was a release and relief.
I always thought I was drowning until
I fell in love with you
You were my lifebuoy
But I have forgotten I myself was capable of swimming
And my love for you was an anchor
It has only
Decapitated me,
Stuck at your spot.
Now, I am moving on.
A ship without an anchor.
An Olympic swimmer.
A fish unbaited,
Not caught in the net of deceptions and delusions.

thanks for sharing, a good read
(empowering
message, as in our resurgence
blossom
gleanings to that all illusive
meaning..
we must find a way
to survive our life's
bleak nights, so as to claim
our life's
promised, shards of light)
