i've been letting you go
slowly, delicately
now, i cut the ties
i savor the way the scissors feel in my fingers
finally,
i have realized
you aren't who i thought you were
you aren't who i believed in
and i will not be tied down
i will fly, soar
free, free at last
uncaged, untethered
my heart is a bird
feather light and full of the phoenix's fire
i will miss you some nights, i know
i will wish you the best
but now
you can weigh someone else down instead
i am off to better things
