HappyToBeMe

A promise that led to finding myself 

A promise that led to one less shed tear

A promise that led away from the fear

A promise that led to a smile

A promise that led to embarking on a new way forward

A promise that I can never unhear

3 simple words spoken in a low tone into one's ear

I've got you

Goodbye 21 years have flown 

Love has diminished to care

Respect and trust vaporised to ashes

Loyalty crushed turned to dust

What's left doesn't even balance to friendship

No air to breathe just sitting with despair

Time to grieve and embrace the darkness 

Accept the darkness and given time find the light
