The Ultimate Freedom

The months are flying past with not a single word,

And suddenly that’s okay with me,

Life has a habit of sending us what we need,

And your silence sets me free.

**

Free to plan the future, free to make my decisions,

A better life awaits, time is on my side,

I’m working hard to honour my dreams,

And I’ve nothing left to hide.

**

This year has shown me that I no longer hold a position of responsibility,

And to be honest this brings me more relief than pain,

I’ve done my grieving, shed my tears,

And bitten my tongue in refrain.

**

You still cross my mind on a daily basis,

But now I can treasure my memories, anytime,

Our time has come, you’ve gone your way,

And I’ve paid for my crime.

**

I’m looking to the future now,

One that you hold no place within,

I’ve come to accept that notion,

And made peace, I’ve taken it on the chin.

**

One day you’ll reach out in regret,

But that day will see me far from here,

You’ve wasted the time I put aside,

When you and I lived near.

**

My life is my own now,

You’ve released me from all sacrifice,

You’ve made your choice,

But I’m not sure you realise the cost, the price.

**

There’s no going back now,

There’s no fixing the consequences of your actions,

So live long, live happily,

Fill your life with meaningful distractions.

**

Me — I plan to live life to the fullest,

Finally free to do all the things I need,

With bittersweet gratitude I leave,

But it’s not in defeat I cede!
