Night Before Endings

It was the wee hours of the morning
And all through even the recesses of her mind
Not a single thought stirred
Not even a doubt
This decision had to be taken
Because self-respect had to prevail
And all she had been shown
Time and time again
Was that she was the only one who tried
And it was time to take the furthest step back
And move forward in life
Steady appreciating the fact
That she tried to live in her truth
Even if it was never perfect
Now she had to love and leave it alone
And answer to the growth of her heart
That one-sided relationships
She should’ve never entertained
Now moving with steady grace
She chose love of self
And a decision was made to walk on away
With her heart and mind a quiet calm
…with not a single doubt in her mind
