throw me
to the wind
like a bird
newly uncaged

and let me
fly toward
the sun

its brightness
will sear
away the
memory of love
gone by

as I climb
into a sky
shaded blue
with
eternity

there I will
fold my aching
wings
and plunge
earthward,

forgetting
as I go

promises
uttered

in vain

Reminded me of Icarus a little too; a sense of hopes that ran too high. The imagery is direct and clean and the piece builds effectively to the premise of the end.
