Return to Owner

you asked me for it

the one you left at mine over a decade ago
the bag that held all of your secrets and our indiscretions
and in exchange
you gave me the keys to my place
everything that once was
broken forever
hot and fast, like a flash of light,
blinded by it
i walked away with my head held high
so i could lower it in private
filled with questions without answers
a blossoming of truths unknown
coming forward
to light a new path,
twisting and turning and back to
Me.
