I can breathe easily

and be free of troublesome thought

now that I've broken off

my piece of our heart.

It was distressing at first

To find it simple to sever

a bond

I believed to be forged

in support, shared tears

triumphs and secrets.

It was plain

that I adored and

admired you

as if our ties were sanguineous,

fiery and genuine.

Sister of my soul and wishes

I loved you fiercely

I knew this with not one doubt.

Shattering the illusion

that those bindings were strong,

everlasting

was a relief, a release.

So now I may finally say the goodbye

I had never truly wished for.
