Now you’re not here

I won’t shed tears

I have no fears

You can’t hurt me.

–

I was a fool

And just a tool

Under your rule

I’m just a wee.

–

Lies and deceit

Bread and no meat

Endless conceit

Just didn’t see.

–

Gaslit to death

To my last breath

Toxic breadth

Bad place to be.

–

Like a flat tire

Or a wild fire

A fear inspires

I was your flea.

–

Then I got smart

Looked in my heart

Saw from the start

On bended knee.

–

I was your joke

Each word you spoke

To harm and poke

An endless spree.

–

Then, had my say

I went away

One winter day

I had to flee.

–

Now, a new life

You’re not my wife

Clear of the strife

Truly, I’m free.

–

Each day and night

Inspired, I write

My former flight

As my decree.

–

No more I’ll take

Someone who’s fake

Or major flake

That is the key.

–

A while myself

Not on a shelf

Or used up elf

Finally me…
