Possessions

Possessive isn't bad
it's clinging to that part of yourself
you shared with me...
jealousy is the acid that erodes

Give your lover freedom
allow him his wings
for even when he is gone
you still possess within your being
every moment you shared
the dreams he revived in you
the feeling of warmth his love kindled

These possessions, unmaterial
cannot be taken from you...
they alone are yours...
