Finding ourselves and another after marriage is over...


How far...

How far have I traveled from myself
that an eager kiss,
reciprocated
Without obligation
Could leave me weeping.

How deeply have I denied myself
That to be truly heard ,
Understood,
Feels like a gift
Undeserved
Instead of a
Birthright.

How far have I come,
that I can expose my wounds
And my dreams
Without fear of
Judgment

And without being astounded
When you offer yours
In exchange.
