Thank You For Leaving Me

A free verse poetry

Thank God
we are
not holding
hands
anymore.
I feel
free like
never before.

Bhavna Narula, 2021. I was in love with those sets of hands. Hands that I thought will always be there to embrace me, to protect me, to hold me when I fall. But those hands left me midway. When I needed them the most. I now realized that those hands going away actually released from the unseen shackles I had been living with. This reason for me is enough to celebrate this new lease on life.
