Unchaining A Heart

I hear the chain you drag,
like Marley's ghost
but the difference here
is that he is dead,
and you are not.
And if you look close
you'll see
that the chain you carry
isn't locked to you.
They couldn't lay a glove on you,
no matter what they took.
And now you arrive,
amazed that I can see you,
astounded that I do.
Like I needed eyes to see
the you I have always felt.
But you don't need me to free you---
that spirit soared over the walls
and found its way back
to the one who knew
that you were only a heartbeat away.
