Continuation

I am the continuation of this love

That never found the way to manifest

And as I hold these memories to my chest

I will think of all the love longed for

And never received

That bids me now : open to life

If at times I feel a knife

Paring love from fear

I will listen to what his heart asks

Especially as I struggle for air

And my spirit seeks its wings

As my heart sings its song

Of sadness

Only to know how sweet joy tastes

And as the fear of abandon

Is abandoned to the wind

I finally spread my wings

To become airborne

Finally freed

To love

Without reservation

Seeking only

This continuation
