THE RESCUE
After all this time
I understand
The shadow work
Done
For now
A healing
Much needed
Thank you to your seeding
Of the needing
To attend to
Damaged feelings
After all this time
I reach my hand
Symbol for the Heart
Always yours
Which needed nurturing
From wounds we shared
Unintentionally
And perhaps intentionally
We were in too much pain
Amplifying
Between us
After all this time
Their voices fade away
Envy, hatred, control, abuse
The reptile assumption
To tell us what to think
How to feel, Who we are,
Who we should be with
These were never people we should listen to
They have not our best interests at heart
They fear the loss of our magic
Which they feed on
They fear we would outgrow them
See through them
After all this time
I am wiser to them
Their power over me has waned
I had to sacrifice you to do that
As you sacrificed me to appease them
After all this time
I am checking in
Because I care
Because I love you
Hoping you are doing alright
Although we slammed the door between us
From the pressures of conformity
That door, our hearts sharing
Was toxic from their potions
So I blame others for the harm
Upon our marriage
Not because I have no accountability
Of course I do and I have paid my toll
But because I am passing judgement accurately
Where the ones who assume to reign
Passing judgement based on lies
Have not met my benchmark
After all this time
Perhaps you will have learned
Marriage is the world between two people
To the exclusion of all others
It is not the world between you and
All the other people
Who want to own you
To the detriment of your betrothed
The people who you needed
To fuck off, was not me
It was all the people twisting our love
Who you set me aside to please
After all this time
You perhaps do not see it this way
But your heart does
I know this being true to my own heart
That door between our hearts
Swings both ways
As it is my turn in our story
To turn the page of yesterdays
A blank future faces us
With freedom to flow
In any direction
Be sure the anchor you have left here
Is a port you’re always welcome
Is a safe place
Despite what the delusional ones say
To break us up from envy hidden and confessed
As they crash into the rocks of Karma
They have yet to face
After all this time
As levels settle to their balanced places
Love is a permanent wave
Those who know it meet there
While others fall away
To miserable solace of their demonic community
Feeding on friends and families born of blood
Never the power to escape a hell created
By compromised choices
Drinking potions of unfounded criticism
After all this time
I thank you for setting me free
It was the gift of love
I can see that now
I had thought I could rescue you
Instead you rescued me
By letting me go
I have had to do the same
The element of tragedy
Is blameless
It was what it had to be
After all this time
I hope you are doing okay
I have missed you
Until times healing came
You still are not here
To hear these words
I am sorry you did not make it
To where you asked me to take you
Perhaps
After all this time
You have contemplated
What is required
To be able to get there
You will find me again
“Beneath the falls,
I know you will”
Above the falls
Is where we fly
Swim upstream
To become
Timeless
