A Poem in Prose

I gave you away because from me, you grew apart.
I gave you away with most of my heart.
I gave you away to test your affections.
I gave you away still having a connection.
I gave you a way to be happy.
I gave you away, unwillingly.
I gave you a way to love someone else.
I gave you away thinking I lost myself.

When you left I had questions like:
 - What about me?
 - Who's gonna love me?
 - Who's gonna take care of me?
 - Who's gonna make me feel better?
 - Who's gonna help me feel at all?

Now that you're gone and since you've been away,
I gained clarity, I'm pleased to say.
I gave you away so I could be free.
I gave you away so I could learn to love ME!
