an "Ex"
someone you used to share your life with
someone you once had a partnership with
a contract
written, verbal, assumed
a piece of you no longer attached
no longer owned by you
is no longer yours
was never yours in the first place
just borrowed
floating out their somewhere
sometimes you can see it
sometimes you just feel it
then that piece finds a new home
a new someone to attach too
she is happy with her new home
she is in love
a wrong has been righted
he makes her different
peaceful, kind, forgiving
different
different than we ever were
or were ever going to be
enough time has passed
i am happy to let that piece of me go
no hole, no scars, no emptiness
just happy
