What your loss had done to dismantle my soul

Forsaken me, with a broken heart, in need of mend

Though some say I have never lost at all

Who is more lonely than I; I cannot yet comprehend


I’ll tell myself the aching present in me today

Is just a mere bump in my story

I’ll say you weren’t much to me, always just okay

That you were never a man seeking glory

 

Maybe without you, there still is a me

At least now I have closure

Maybe, now I am free

A kite flying without its owner


Today the phoenix will ignite,

So that tomorrow it will be all right

This piece was inspired by Enda St. Vincent Millay, a famous poet who wrote many sonnets. I love her work!
