wanderess

leaving you behind and loving myself

no longer do I want your love

better things have beckoned me towards them

the swaying of trees

the blinding rays of sunshine

the echoes of birds chirping 

the cheesy smile of beautiful children

the innocence of the world have whispered my name from afar 

and I long to pack up and shift into where my name is being called

so that I can find in this world that you occupy with me and billions others

where I belong 

once upon a time

I truly believed that it was with you 

but you made it clear

you weren't my home 

and you weren't where I belonged

but yet I chose to stay, 

where I wasn't welcomed,

and I burnt down my pride and sold you my identity 

just to have a safe haven in you

you shook me off of your bones 

the same way you would of an insect 

until I was forced to leave 

so you see, 

just because you left me homeless and without 

just because someone else has occupied your bones that I longed to dwell in 

and you howl in joy that I am deserted

the world is still spinning

and it calls out to me to twirl atop it

I like the honest tone in the words and the good flow of thoughts leading to the strong ending. When the love is done. Best to allow to lay dead.

Good to find a better place and leave the things behind. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
