Freedom

Freedom of the heart is a grand notion
it is even grander when
you experience it first hand
no longer being held hostage by
hopes, illusions and delusions
ammends that have no backbone
and no improving behavior to match
no more words tossed your way to
shut you up and keep you at bay
no more deal breakers - whoa!
freedom from someone elses
bouts of anger, depression, and arrogance
and hidden under all that is a person
with the capacity of great things
you see it, only if you go along with what
he wants to do, and only what he wants to discuss
All those months, and in one day
all the love is gone, a single a-ha moment
All that waiting.... though a good lesson has
taken place - there are no excuses for bad behavior
no exuses to keep breaking the same heart
and no excuses for devouring the same soul
