The Greatest Gift

She is the Moses
Of my heart.

She parted the
Walls I built
Around my
Heart.

My fortress.
My sanctuary.

My prison.

Ripping it
From me,
And in my
Pain, I
Finally
See
Love, peace.

She gave me
The greatest
Gift one could
Give me.

And like Moses,
She sees the
Promise Land,
But will never
Enter it.

But thanks to
Her someone
Else can.

She wants nothing
In return. I’ll respect
That. But I would
Tell her this.

“You’re beautiful.”

“I love you.”

“Goodbye.”
