~Walk away~
Straight ahead
Do not sway
Toddler tantrums
From old men
Who complain they
Have it worse
~Walk away~
Head pounding
Begging to burst
Pause for an instant
Long enough
For dust to settle
On my feet
In my nose
Better than stench
Of his rotting soul
~Walk away~
You call my name
Begging me to turn
Around and stay
Give in to the rage
It’s part of the game
We play every day
Abandoned in dry
Desert air
~Walk away~
Pleading
Pleas
From the one
Who loves but
Doesn’t really
Care taking second
Place to
The devil himself
Scar singed
Secret hope
Lingers there
~Walk away~
Remember you are
Sacrificed seed
She sold herself
For the millionth time
And owes him
Her life
But not mine
~Walk away~
Flailing and failing
Lobbing lies
Reach the finish line
And fling the fools
Into the fire
Of glowing geyser
I turn for the
Last lost time
Thankful tears
Clean dust
From
Eyes
~Walk away~
A Wise Woman Writes 
Walking away is the hardest and yet the most courageous thing we can do for ourselves in difficult relationships. As Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.”

Yes, so very true! A lesson I wish was easy to learn, but glad to have the knowledge and strength to walk away ❤
