It’s not as if I owned your heart.
That is the mistake of the lover
who thinks his beloved is no longer free,
who is dismayed when she blooms
into a new confidence and flowers
in acts of independence. He cannot see
he is still the shining center for her.
His heart no longer informs his actions:
He misplaces his tenderness, claims it’s lost.
What remains is hurt And he turns away
from her light, seeks a dark solace in envy. Bright keys only they heard in their song
of love fall flat. The music they knew snaps,
no longer able to turn passion into love.
