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…
