Freedom (Written June 1, 2009)

Freedom

I was thinking about you

And her

Your new life

And I smiled

Invited the jealousy in

I sat with her

We became friends

I made love to her

Shared a cup of hot chocolate

Until I discovered

She was not here

To knock me down

But to teach me

To abide

In my own gifts

And in an act of great love

I released her

And she...me

And here I live

Hovered on the edge

Of freedom

To the point where I have forgotten

What brought me here

In the first place
