A Void

There’s a space left,

Where and when you were here.

A Void

I would rather not feel.

In the empty in-between

I am not sure who I am.

I’m not what 

I was for you.

That part cannot 

Return now.

I put so…much…time

Into that ‘me’.

A Void

Where that ‘me’ used to be.

Am I free?

Unburdened by this change?

Why do I resist 

These things?

When it’s so easy to regret

All I forgot to cherish before.

I want to take courage

And be more, instead.

A Void

No limits—a space to be filled.

No longer burdened 

by what I thought mattered.

No longer invested

In one particular outcome.

No longer hopeful

For the return of what was.

Just

This

Now.

Nothing left to

A Void.

I can fill this space

With whatever I want it to be.

I am still.

I am ready.

Here I go!
