Path

Am I ready to forgive?

To free my soul from the excessive pain it’s tangled in,

All I know is how I felt when I would lay on your chest,

Small and safe-

Small enough to spread my arms wide feeling them stretch unable to wrap them around you,

Safe enough to close my eyes and wake up still on your chest,

I long to feel this kind of love again but, I’m afraid I never will

To be so open and vulnerable with someone beside myself,

I pause,

Should I keep walking?

If I release the the pain and anger what will be left of him,

He’d become completely non-existent to me, wouldn’t he
