Letting Go

I’m staring at my phone in disbelief

My calls and texts you refuse to receive

The first stage in full bloom, “This is untrue!!”

Quickly I text, “I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!”

Denial fading, anger rushes in

Threats and insults I don’t plan to rescind

You’re not exclusive, I get my rage too

Feeling guilt for not giving more to you

The emotions linger like a bad storm

You’ve left this space, and I need to conform

Leaning into the possibility

Our journey together is now complete

Then peace quietly drifts in like a dove

As my soul greets yours, exchanging our love

We needed each other, we had to grow

I bow to the lesson of letting go.
