Speak now or forever hold
the pieces of
our broken union…
Your crumbling sanity;
The apologies you never felt the need to make…
Say the truths you meant –
instead of the ones you created
to justify your actions;
Set yourself free.
Resistance [at this point] is futile,
guidance is neutral.
No longer do I exist
to serve your every whim and desire;
In fact, I never have,
but I’ve spent so much time attempting
to “keep the peace”
that I failed to realize
peace lies within
and it was never my job
to “keep” it or try to manage it
for the simple sake of
your happiness –
especially when
your peacefulness is almost nonexistent;
the love we lost
has taken an immeasurable toll
with the price paid
being our heart and soul.
