Unloving

Unloving...
is there such a term?
A question was posed to me
just the other day
about unloving
someone
something
somehow

this gentle soul
needed to know
for their own
peace of mind
if it was at all
possible
to unattach
ungive
undream
unlove

is there really
such a thing?

how do you
forget the eyes
that made you
lose your breath?
how do you
not cry yourself
dry
falling asleep from
pure exhaustion?
how do you
erase
the pictures of
bliss
written in
indelible ink?
How do you
unglue
the puzzle piece
that fits?
How do you
move past
the choices
that were made
leaving you
incomplete?

I wish I knew
the answer to
this question
wondering how to
forgive
love's greatest
folly

I do not have
the answer
but I will keep
searching
looking to help
heal
the inevitability
of the future
as it knocks
on our door

For now
Gentle soul
be strong
lean into
loss
forgive yourself
mistakes
 love
yourself
one day
you will
love
again
with abandon
with joy
freely
without pretense
secrets
lies
with passion
hope
bliss

one day you will...
I promise
.............................................................
.....................................................
written for those learning
to love again
to forget the past
and move forward
...
wherever that may be
