Uninclined To Cling

He clung to me

so I had to let go

*

I need air to breathe

A loose grip on love

*

Not the noose he tried

to tie around my throat

*

Possessiveness isn't love

It's the inability

to escape deep insecurities

*

He was insecure

Something I felt

within his vibration

Something I heard

underneath his words

*

He wanted more

than I was offering

so I had to go my own way

*

I refuse to be smothered

by someone’s low self-worth

*

I need my freedom to grow

My freedom to be with myself

*

Even if I was inclined

to be more than his friend

Even if I was inclined

to fall in love with him

I am uninclined to cling

*

I require a lover that can cling to my body

without clinging to every moment of my being

*

Even in a committed relationship

I still need my freedom

to be wholly in my bones

I need my time to be alone

because I'm holy on my own

*

I had to let him go

because codependency

is unattractive to me

I had to let him go

because I am a bonafide lover

that values her independency

*

I have love that builds mountains

but even stone moves eventually

I require my need to be free

*

Dynamically open to changes

To metamorphose

what was into what could be

*

I require a love of which The Prophet speaks

a moving ocean between where the shores of our souls meet
