7 Words
A learning Curve
A Memory I’d rather forget, betrayed by pride,
Guess you never know who’s on your side.
Months for the truth to be revealed,
All my emotions heavily concealed.
Time passes but that memory never fades
Cutting deeper than a thousand jagged blades
I knew what I needed to heal my heart
Instead you chose to play your own part.
As the gap widens and I can’t look you in the eye
all you seemingly do is ask yourself why.
Seven words became the final straw,
Seeing everything in you I abhor.
Now in the future, the memory still clear,
A reminder that strength outweighs fear.
I will carry those words forever in my mind,
a more humble path I intend to find.
