Walk Away

The vows we spoke, a sacred bind,  

Now echoes lost within my mind.  

Her gaze, once warm, turned cold with lies,  

Beneath the mask, betrayal thrives.  

Five times the trust was torn apart,  

A blade driven deep into the heart.  

Each scar a lesson, a bitter cost,  

For love misplaced, for innocence lost.  

To stay was pain, to leave was grief,  

Yet freedom blooms beyond belief.  

For peace demands a heavy toll,  

A fractured bond, a healing soul.  

No hate remains, just quiet resolve,  

To let the past in time dissolve.  

Forgiveness reigns, though ties are severed,  

A chapter closed, a life restructured.  

Her choice was hers, as mine is mine,  

To walk away, to redefine.  

The price of peace, though steep to pay,  

Brings hope anew with each new day.
