Forgive me for I couldn’t dance
to all the tunes you played.
Always so coquettish
for some time I was entranced
but tired of the game
The never-ending chase.
In the small hours
a light came on
and I reached higher
than you can fly.
‘Rise up, rise up.
You are worth more than this.’
So,
I turn from staring
into your abyss
release
and walk away.

For my sister. If someone doesn’t treat you right or value you, we are right to let them go.

pretty…she is strong. It takes strength to walk away.
Yep … 🙂
I can imagine this in the small hours. Well imagined.
Excellent. I have found myself in that way, simply staring into a helpless situation just wishing. Come to realise I must care about myself and not based my happiness so much on whether or not this person is good to me or not.
Really wise words. Great write.
“In the small hours” … I really like that.
really nice one. the never-ending chase can be fun at first, but does grow tiresome quickly. That is an awesome photo. and your piece works with it very well. Thanks
Yes! Absolutely perfect. I especially love “you are worth more than this” – which is the main message we all – hopefully – eventually learn.
first and last stanzas did it for me, very good.
Well good for her to walk away….I pray she will have the courage to continue with her path ~
ah, that sinking feeling.at times, being able to escpae is the heroic act.
Oh that picture is so disturbing, and your words that suggest the possibilities of a relationship gone wrong make for a very powerful commentary on everyone’s right to be their own master.
Its weird how everyone else can see this from a mile away, but when the picture is too up close, those at the brink have a hard time processing it. Its nice to have someone who cares enough to express it like this. Great writing.
Yeah that sink hole can be a deep one to drag one selves out of, but it has to be done and so much more freeing when done too.
