I still feel the

absence of that

small gold band

missing from my

finger – yet the

weight of it

is so heavy

carried in

my heart.

I am drowning in

the dreams I once

held dear. Hope

of happiness and

passion and a family

unbreakable… immutable…

yet… now utterly broken

shattered beyond

any hope, any trust

any love…

I have no hope

of you anymore…

This weight on my finger…

the absence of you..

now it feels like

freedom.
