My heart swells.
The shackles of past love remain, trying to prevent further love.
My heart swells trying to break the bands.
They tighten like a finger trap trying to hold me down.
Growing in size, my heart fights the restraints wanting to be free.
It pushes.
It bulges as the chains hold.
Flexing again my heart pushes again.
With a thunderous crack the chain breaks.
Free my heart is stronger and ready to love again.
