barely visible
the faint scar
the only evidence
that once
this heart
was tethered to another.
Strong hands once held a fragile soul
contained within a wild fire
masterfully manipulating the flame
like an artist
kindling the passions
that set the spirit ablaze.
Once
an uncompromising will
held an unruly heart
joyously captive
in the tender bondage
of love.
