this point

I am turned to face up the stairs
toward the door
that leads
outside
to light

and I no longer see
you
standing
in your nightgown
hunched in the dark
smothered by the ache

and I no longer am
me
open to fear
carrying the weight
of your destruction
connected to my soul

I am turned to face the light
and I
am
free.
