She takes your lies,
gulps them like wine,
laughs till she cries,
drawing the line.
She knows you well,
words turn to dust,
love tripped and fell,
into disgust.
She visits you,
within her head,
dreams that came true,
are now all dead.
She tries to smile,
while hurt inside,
thoughts run hostile,
heart conquers mind.
She walks away,
opposite path,
silently prays,
time cures scorned wraths.
She turns around,
just one last time,
nothing is found,
fate feels sublime.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

Enough, as the saying goes, is enough. The person you describe finally realised this.
I sure hope so. Thanks for sharing.π
There’s a lot of depth and intensity here–such painful emotions–but that last stanza is beautiful and a wonderful denouement to her personal story. It’s sad anyone has to experience this sort of thing, but what a sense of rebirth and renewal when it’s all over and the sun shines again… Well done, Grace. π
Thank you, Mike. It sure is sad and happens all too often. Glad you enjoyed it, my friend .π
A powerful piece, Grace! Sometimes walking away is the bravest decision to make.
And this poem actually reminds me of a song by Taylor Swift called βitβs time to goβ , which somewhat mirrors the same message.
Thanks so much, Shruthi. I have never heard this song but will definitely look at it.π
Youβre welcome, Grace!
