In moments ordinary, you appeared, a spell so sweet,
With laughter echoing, in every beat, a joyful feat.
Your messages, like stars at night, in darkness, a guiding light,
In your gaze, a world so right, a haven in my sight.
We shared meals, stories, dreams so bright,
In your words, my soul took flight.
You listened close, understood my plight,
In your embrace, I found my might.
But then, a shadow fell, a truth untold,
A side of you, dark and cold.
In others’ eyes, the story rolled,
A side of you, not seen, but bold.
Was it hope that made me blind,
To think your heart was only kind?
Yet in this pain, what could I find,
But a truth, harsh and unkind?
“Why walk this path again?” I ask,
In love’s elusive, daunting task.
A loop of pain, in which I bask,
In your orbit, I wear a mask.
I gave you all, my heart, my soul,
In your hands, I lost control.
A shadow over my bright goal,
In your chains, I played my role.
Was it fear of being alone,
That made me seek a heart of stone?
In your lies, a comfort zone,
But in your grip, I felt dethroned.
Yet, from the ashes, a spark arose,
A sense of self, against the blows.
“I ain’t no angel,” my spirit chose,
With these words, my strength grows.
Step by step, I walk away,
From shadows past, in light, I sway.
A new path, in bright array,
In my story, I have a say.
So now, I walk with head held high,
Underneath the endless sky.
From broken wings, I dare to fly,
In every tear, a lesson, a battle cry.
For love, I long, but not at cost,
Of self, of soul, no longer lost.
A heart now free, no longer tossed,
In seas of pain, I’ve paid the cost.
In this tale of love and strife,
Of sunny days and stormy life,
I’ve found a truth, sharp as a knife:
In my own heart lies my life.
No longer chained, no longer tamed,
In my own light, I’m proclaimed.
From love’s fierce fire, I’m now unframed,
A life of love, anew, I’ve claimed.
Thank you for another wonderful post.
Great awesome things here.
This post resonates deeply with the journey of finding oneself through the complexities of love and heartbreak. It beautifully captures the contrast between light and shadow in relationships, the joy of connection and the pain of disillusionment. The imagery of rising from the ashes, reclaiming your strength, and learning from the past is so powerful. It reminds us that even in moments of loss, there’s always an opportunity to rediscover our inner light and redefine what love means to us. Truly inspiring and empowering. Thank you for sharing such raw emotion and wisdom!
