Love Poem: Free

Free

Unattached chains set me free
 No captivating bonds to hold me 
 Free of mind for a new restart 
 Give someone worthy my heart

 Demons have been laid to rest
 A knife removed from my breast
 That pierced a tender heart often
 No loving words to soften

 No loving eyes there to see
 To gently watch over me
 As I always did for thee
 There, I would faithfully be

 No regrets of misspent youth
 In my heart I know the truth
 Deep love and loyalty so real
 Time now for old scars to heal

 Passage of time held the key
 Shackles unlocked to be free
 Heart to soar and take to flight
 Horizon ahead gleaming bright

 Time to leave the past behind
 Cherished memories enshrined
 Farewell - forever I will adore
 But unrequited love no more
