Tethered

 
As I break, I see the mistake I've made
Toward you
Bound if not by verbal declaration
By visceral vow
Churning, knotted, realisation unfolds
Unblinding my eyes to the promises I've told
Inside myself
 
As I break, I see the mistake at hand
Holding me back
Keeping us locked together
If only by a tethered strand
Wavering yet sure
A false cure as it were
Chosen by us
 
And so         I break
For what has been lost
An immeasurable cost
Of love paused before us
Begging a choice
We couldn't make
Until now
 
As we break
I sever this tethered pull
Toward you
And wake away from
I stand alone
Wiser than I've ever been
On my own two feet
 
And as I wake
Inside my own skin
I see a love stronger than I
Truer than I've ever been
To myself
Open to the purest possibility
Of what Love really is
