Letting Go

No more latching on
grasping, clinging, taking
using you to mask my flaws
fill my heart
  (someone whispers that
   you will leave
   but he is a liar and has been from the beginning)

I'm loving you with open hands
come and go as He wills
as I shall

It's a declaration of intent, not achievement
but the intent is for my hands to snap trap-shut
less and less frequently
and for you to be always free of them
when they do
