Moving On

Moving On

The sun is setting and so are we

I can’t love you anymore

I don’t know why I am surprised

You already found another

Someone to laugh with

Someone to love

Someone to adore

But I will always remember

I deserve better

You always left me alone

We had so much together

We even had a home

But you betrayed my trust

You lied and cheated

I was stupid not to leave

And although I miss you

I know I am better off

No more hurt

No more pain

No more washing my tears down the shower drain

With everything that went on

My life has spun out of control

But I can pick myself up

I will become stronger

I will make something of myself

I don’t need you

I never did

I just wanted to feel loved

But I was beaten instead

It was all a lie

It was all pretend

But now I can find love again

With a real man

Someone who doesn’t raise his hand

Someone sweet and kind

And someone who can tell me everything on his mind

Bring on life

Bring on love

Bring on the work to accomplish my dreams

They are closer than they have ever been

Because now I have nothing holding me back

Nothing is in my way

I ache for the day

When I can proudly say

I did it

An excellent summation of Domestic Violence. You have a great talent for expressing your emotions. It touched my heart. If you wrote it based on your own experience.....just know that you are better off and better things await! When he one day comes back to hurt you again (and he will try) He will find a strong.....very strong woman, who will no longer put up with a male who THINKS he is a man! He is a fool. Remember you deserve quality!!!!!!! Domestic Violence was never meant to be a silent crime. Good job giving it voice! May God continue to guide you.......Hugs    Paula

Hi Chloe  I  can relate to our poem having gone through 
domestic violence myself, it is never a good place to be 
 If this is personal to you, i am glad you freed yourself from this man
you show a great attitude to moving forward with your life 
A great message to people who suffer this abuse 
that there is light at the end of the tunnel
Great write  My best wishes Debs
