I am Marley free
From boxes I am
Pandora free from furies
And I am Prometheus
Free from his chains
I am finally free
From the one ghost
That’s been haunting me
And like my friends
Above now that we’re
No longer bound what
Might we have learned
That mistakes no matter
How big or small
Were all just choices
We must take responsibility
For lessons befallen us
If we are ever
To move past them
Right before I step
Forward my past steps
In front of me
The reason why I
Am even here now
It is too late
For your dessert now
It’s on the house
So since it’s free
I’m supposed to what
Indulge maybe over indulge
No my sweet you
Promised to be dinner
And now that I’m
Finished I simply have
No room for you
You don’t know you
Just don’t know how
Many times I pulled
Up but never got
Out you don’t know
How many letters or
How many texts I
Started and then deleted
Knowing that when you
Walked out you walked
Out of us and
Back into only you
I was a stranger now
And if we ever
Should stumble upon each
Other it would be
No better no worse
No more familiar or
No more odd than
The very first time
Sometimes letting people go
Gives them a chance
To come back once
They are ready to
And he was ready
It’s funny needing things
You make bad decisions
Plugging holes in dikes
Which is what I
Tried to hopelessly do
Everything was just fine
Until the storms came
Not even my hands
Could stop the surge
Down I finally went
You washed to sea
Me alone bobbing aimlessly
You out of sight
I pulled myself ashore
And made my peace
Knowing you were somewhere
Now maybe even happier
And finally after two
Years of absent distance
After two years of
Why’s and how comes
Of deafening heart break
Except for the tink
Tink tink of the
Sounds of the pieces
Of my heart hitting
The floor Bean returned
From the ashes arose
A love friendship love
That never did die
And now warms us
As we once again
Huddle closer to it
