Kim V. Poetry

I’m not running anymore.
Not chasing shadows
Of what we used to be.

You walked away so many times,
I got used to hearing your
Fading footsteps.

I got used to feeling the bitter
Cold sink into my heart,
And freeze my bones
From the inside out.

And so now that my tears
No longer sting,
They don’t even drip from sadness
Anymore.

But of relief.

It’s too late to come back
And write a love song
For me, my love.

Because every song I hear now,
No longer reminds me of you.

For I am finally free.

Free to love again.
Free to feel the sunshine
Warm my skin.

Free to wander,
Like the ghost that I am.

And do you know what the
Best part of letting go is?

It’s that I know I’m haunting you.

You see me in your
Tangled dreams,
And you wish you could still
Taste the honey on my lips.

You wish you could feel
My love stir your hardened
Heart again.

You wish for so many things,
I know.

But you’ve run out of time,
And I’ve run out of love.
