Permission to walk away.


No, I do not regret you.
Nor will I destroy those memories.
Not for a single moment.


The time we shared can never be replaced. The future we lost not seen on our face.
There’s some nights I wonder. 
How are you doing now?

Then I let it go with no sorrow,
Just like life, I let our paths carry on.
Never believing for a moment the harm that you’ve done.
I imagined it was hard for you when I moved on.
Never thought that you were vindictive, restrictive, and the petulant one.

This time on the brink, caused me to sink, and on many nights over think.
To connect all the dots, as I jotted my thoughts.
To find all along,
your ambushes, traps, and attacks,
Those were your kink.

There was nothing I’ve done wrong, except fall out of love with someone who hurt me too.

So I do not consent, nor relent, nor repent.
I use these words only to vent,
not to prevent, or resent, the next phase of my life,

As I move without a goal, after your feeble attempts at control.

I dry my eyes, with this reprise, time flies, and my spirit will rise, as I reach for the prize.

I know you cannot be forced to feel remorse, for its just a matter of time and due course.

That you cannot apologize for the games you played, and all my dragons have been slayed.
For those who have lied, to hide, the ways you deride only to watch my strength, this body, and the walls of life collide.

Well, sit back one and all, and enjoy the ride.
Who I am, is a king, and that’s the thing, you’ll never bring me down, or drag me into this world.
When I sing, with my voice I choose to sing of:
Gratitude, patience, resilience, omnipotence, elegance, and a compassion everlasting.

Indeed, this heart will only stop beating, when it decides to stop its keeping of time.

Then peace will come, not to your path, but mine.
Maybe then it will be revealed, the reasons concealed, why you all already said goodbye.
