Free of my Love

There is a beauty in your eyes…
a sudden smile you wore,
a softness in your sighs,
that I didn’t catch before.

There is a laugh when you rejoice…
and a confidence you allow
to a faith within your voice
that I hadn’t heard ‘til now.

Your alarming un-clichéd
charm - so easily cast,
I wonder how it strayed
my attention in the past.

And now that you are free
from our relationship itself,
I see that it was me
who had kept you from yourself
