Gone

Why would I let you go?
In fact I never let you go
You were gone
The butterfly unreturned
My expectations unfulfilled
I longed to hold you for the longest time
Time got away
And you weren't there
Grasping at straws that
Disintegrated in my hands
Now the path I travel is alone
No fights
No misunderstandings
No misspoken words
I don't cook any more
I eat alone
A hot dog with catsup and mustard is
My relish
I put in new energies to complete my happiness
I'm able to laugh whole heartedly
My creativity blossoms
I walk assuredly heavy on my feet
My toes are beautiful
Like never before
Maybe finally I've let you go
