the old ball and chain

sometimes you miss people.
or miss
what you imagined
them to be.
it's a strange thing
this
relationship amnesia.
how it wipes the slate clean
despite the horror
of everything,
but then you come
to your senses and rub
your ankle where the ball
and chain once rubbed
against your skin, and you
smile, free at last and 
happy again.
